YPSILANTI, MI – Thousands came from around the state Friday, July 26, to Riverside Park in Ypsilanti to try beers from dozens of local Michigan breweries at the 25th annual Michigan Summer Beer Festival.
Founders Brewing Marketing Manager Anthony Piccinini has been to the festival twice, but Founders Brewing is a long-time member and has been attending for 17 years.
“Happy to be supporting Michigan beer and Michigan Beer Fest,” Piccinini said. “Happy to give back to the people that are continuing to support us. I think people know our brands, we have some beers that you can’t go to the store and buy, we bring them out specifically for these festivals.”

Several local bands played on the two stages on the festival grounds, Friday. There were also several food options.
“It’s more of the love we get back from the people than what we give to them,” Piccinini said.
“We are proud to be born and brewed in Michigan.”
