DBW Event: Griffin Claw's Brewmaster Dan Rogers at Woodbridge Pub

Celebrate the launch of the fifth annual Detroit Beer Week at Woodbridge Pub with Brewermaster Dan Rogers of Griffin Claw Brewing Company!

Dan has won dozens of gold and silver medals from the top beer competitions in the country during his time at Big Rock Chophouse and Brewery. Now with the Griffin Claw production brewery his award-winning beers will reach a much wider audience. From 7-9 p.m. on Thursday, October 17, we'll sample different Griffin Claw beers as Dan tells us more about the new Griffin Claw brewery, his signature beers, and a little bit about his brewing process.

Oh, and in case you were wondering why Dan is such a big deal (I mean, Big Rock was no Bell's or Founders or Jolly Pumpkin in terms of being on ever "BEST BEERS EVAAAAAAAAARS" lists, right?), here is a list of awards he has won just during his time there at some of the top beer competitions in the world:
