I sampled their Belgian Training Wheels and 440 Pepper Smoker before an OG-veteran I was with persuaded me to try their Southpaw IPA.  The Pepper Smoker was peculiar (smoky and peppery), but not the sort of thing I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;d want in a full glass.  The Belgian Training Wheels was good, although I find a lingering banana-like note about which I remain undecided (i.e., better keep on the training wheels). But the Southpaw was one of the most memorable beers I had at the event, and OG&#8217;s setup was impressive down to their custom taps.  I&#8217;d never visited their brewery in <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=milan+michigan&#038;gl=us&#038;z=13&#038;vpsrc=0\">Milan<\/a>, a small town 15-miles south from here along US-23, but after the Beer Fest and after hearing more about the place, I made mental note of it, adding it to a short list of places in the area worth visiting.<\/p>\n<p>D., Is., and I spent Saturday morning and early afternoon at the Toledo Zoological Gardens, and the nice thing about the zoo, besides the baby elephant, the sloth bears (what I think of as my middle-age totem), and hippos, is that Original Gravity is located directly on the route back home. In fact, that could be the advertising pitch for our visit to the Toledo Zoo on Saturday: On the way home, you can exit in Milan, Mich., have a sandwich and a pint of Southpaw, and take a growler of Belgian Training Wheels to go.<\/p>\n<p>We tried their veggie and grilled cheese sandwiches and ordered a side of hummus&#8212;all were better than expected, a definite cut above the competition.  In fact, this has been one of my complaints about neighborhood brewery in Ypsi: the food is meh. OG doesn&#8217;t have an elaborate menu, but they&#8217;re doing it right. Great sandwiches made with fresh, local bread (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Erie-Bread-Company\/100332150027172\">Erie Bread Company<\/a>, I think). The draw of Southpaw: great. And the growler of Training Wheels, well, probably more than I needed because I just won&#8217;t drink a full growler in a week. But I wanted to re-run the lingering notes experiment, and the growler&#8212;half of which remains in the fridge&#8212;was more than enough to collect new data.<\/p>\n<p>Next time I get a growler, it&#8217;ll have to be before a cocktail party where I can share it with others interested in local\/regional brews. And I don&#8217;t know whether OG will be bottling any time soon; either way, I&#8217;d happily go back, which of course means I am working to pencil in another family excursion to the Toledo Zoo soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>I enjoyed a first taste&#8212;to be honest, three first tastes&#8212; of Original Gravity brews at the Michigan Beer Festival late last month.
