Michigan Brewing Company to craft a Kid Rock beer

Some of our loyal KalmaBrew readers may recall how much it tickled our funnybones when we discovered that bad-boy musician Kid Rock had partnered with a beverage distributor to create his own brand of beer.

Well, the "cowboy" is doing his home state proud. Today we just learned that Michigan Brewing Co. of Webberville will be partnering with Mr. Rock in creating this exciting product.

According to an article published today by the Associated Press, Michigan Brewing Co. will receive a tax break from the state to produce this 'bad-ass' beer.

The article states, "The Michigan Brewing Co. plans to invest $7 million in the new product line, which it said will add jobs. On Tuesday, the Michigan Economic Growth Authority approved a nearly $723,00 tax credit over seven years for the company. The village of Webberville also is considering a tax abatement."

Readers, imagine our excitement at this news. We are so pleased that the Kid's beer will be produced by one of Michigan's own craft breweries. This is also the perfect time to reinvigorate our call for label designs for Kid Rock's beer.

Send us your label designs. Email them to kalamabrew@kalamazoogazette.com. We'll share what we get in a future post.
