It is possible that nobody will see this post, but I (Jay) feel the need. Loved building an improbable brewery in a small space in Ishpeming. I really enjoyed all the good times with our very special customers. All of our best Saturdays occurred after Thanksgiving when two Big Ten heavyweights took to the gridiron. I filled a few pints, made a lot of popcorn and was NEVER there for a Wolverine victory. The companionship more than made up for many disappointing losses. I spent last Thanksgiving in Louisville and shared the Tap Room moment thanks to my brother Patrick sending video updates.

Our father and grandfather both were Law School grads, but our grandfather was actually closely associated with the teams of Fielding Yost.

That is Thomas Clancey at the top left with Coach Yost and the 1908 Wolverines.

Please join Pat and me tomorrow at Kog on Third for my first attempt at the new venue.

…A TRANSMISSION FROM THE ETHER…

Letting our audience here know of a project that is dear to us that could use a little help!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dripfeedrecords/chopping-mall-special-edition-double-vinyl-lp

We collaborated with Chopping Mall on the perfectly titled “Mauled By A Magical Bear With Malt Liquor Spraying From Its Eyesockets” back before we shut down. It flew out of the taproom, was super well received and was 100% based on this album.

We’d really like it if any of you could jump on the bandwagon and help make this pressing a reality. The world needs it. You need it.

Koth is a super awesome dude who deserve every bit of support we can give. He’s always been up for a collab with any of his multiple projects. We doubt we’ve seen the last of him.

Check the options and get to getting. Some pretty sweet deals in there!

That’s all. We are still doing what we do. Have a good good. Be excellent to each other!

…END TRANSMISSION…

Re-mastered double LP of "Mauled By A Magical Bear With Scalding Hot Liquid Cheese Spraying From Its Eyesockets" PLUS 9 NEW SONGS

The forlorn occasion has arisen. This weekend, we’ll be offering a bottle of Graventosk Gravöl on us with every purchase of BBA Storm the Castle.
We’ll also be slashing merchandise prices in half. Get the last of Cognition swag that this realm will ever see again.
And of course, we’re still running our Buy Two Get One on 32oz Crowlers. The taps are flowing strong and the room is as warm and inviting as it’s always been. We can’t thank you all enough for all you’ve given this place and this weekend, we give back strong.

The Cognition Brewing Company era will end this month. The new owners of the Mather Inn have decided to get their own liquor license and will not be renewing our lease. Our lease is up on May 31st and our license will be put in escrow at that time. All beer sales will end after the Memorial Day Weekend.

Starting today, you can purchase three crowlers for the price of two, so stock up for the summer.

Our focus will be on moving equipment out, as well as brewing and serving at Kognisjon Bryggeri in Marquette. Please stop in for a visit on North 3rd. You'll feel right at home, since it's kinda Ishpemingy down there.

On a personal note.....the experience of constructing a brewery in the building that my Grandfather dedicated in 1931 has been a labor of love that has enriched my life considerably. Brian Richards and I put a lot of hard effort into squeezing that brewery into an unlikely space. We continue to be very proud of the beers that he created and those that Kris Thompson has added to the lineup. Having stewardship of the historic Tap Room has been a unique honor indeed.

I am very lucky to have had many fantastic employees over the last eight years, and appreciate every one of them. Renewing old friendships and making so many new ones has been worth every drop of sweat.

All my best to the City of Ishpeming going forward. Your future is bright.

If you must ask "What's next in Ishpeming?", my answer will remain "You never know".

Thank you all! It's certainly been interesting.
