- Happy National IPA Day! When it comes to local beer, there is just nothing better than having a home-state brewed pint. The way we receive our beer now is pretty similar to how it was received in the past, it has just become more convenient for us to have it at home with better packaging, materials, and individual cans and bottles. This spigot is an excellent example of the evolution we have seen. It is a circa 1893, wooden tap with two pieces; a lever and spout.
There are even more cool informational tidbits and fun facts about our local brewing history in our current exhibit, Cheers! A History of Brewing in Muskegon, open through October. #NationalIPADay
