To the person looking to replace the stout...check out New Holland's Poet. I mean, if you're going to stick with the western Michigan thing. I have to agree with theburden...this is much better on draft. Anyone who's a fan of New Holland's beers really should take the drive up to their brewpub. Not for the food, but for the beer. My favorite microbrew, period.

theburden: I've had it on draft at Fire Side grill in Ravenswood, and I think you'll enjoy it on tap.

I hope you can find this beer on draft because every time I've had it out of a bottle it's just been a diacetyl mess.

Look, I'm not going to hold your hand all the time. Go dig through the archives, you'll find Three Floyd's Black Sun, St. Peter's Cream Stout, O'Hara's Irish Stout, Bell's Double Cream Stout, and Young's Chocolate Stout. That's just off the top of my head.

Go back through the archives. March was practically nothing but stouts. Yeah, right.

Man I love this Zoomer. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the New Holland launch party at Sheffield's in April, and WOW. While all of their beers were good, I couldn't help but keep drinking the Zoomer Wit. Very nice flavors, even when it's ice cold.

What's the replacement for Kalamzoo Stout? That was among their best offerings. While we're on the subject--when is a stout going to be a beer of the week feature? I can't recall any stout reviews.
