When Timber Ridge Resort first introduced its event Suds & Snow, which pairs the beauty of northern Michigan’s scenic outdoors with handcrafted beers from some of Michigan’s finest microbreweries, it was never expected to take off so quickly. The inaugural year, 2007, welcomed over 200 guests and this past winter’s event saw over 700 participants celebrating brews and snowshoes. Timber Ridge is riding this wave of success to incorporate another microbrew tasting event this autumn: the Microbrew Color Tour, scheduled for September 26-28. (Check-in is either on September 26 or 27 with late check-out on September 28).

“With so many guests in town for the autumn color tours,” begins resort co-owner Kristin Levesque, “we thought that we would welcome them to enjoy a campsite or cabin in the woods with a microbrew in hand.” The package presents a distinctive way to encourage visitors to enjoy the fiery colors of the turning trees all while relishing the reds, golds, and browns of the featured Michigan microbrews.

The private, park-guest-only package includes two days of unlimited beer sampling, starting with a Friday, September 26, welcome reception at 5:00 p.m. (till supplies last) featuring New Holland Brewing Company and continues to Saturday at the Microbrew Color Tour Tent from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. Four Michigan breweries will be offering samples of their specialty brews: Right Brain Brewery of Traverse City, Short’s Brewing Company in Bellaire, Founder’s Brewing Company of Grand Rapids, and Arbor Brewing Company from Ann Arbor.
