A keggie is a self-contained carbonation unit, so you can have a beer on Wednesday and another one on Sunday and both will be equally fresh. The returnable-container system will allow distribution only within fifty miles of Ann Arbor, but that's okay with the Leopolds. We like the contrast between industry, commerce, and nature. The taproom will serve light food to complement the house beers. Todd, who will be Leopold Brothers' sole brewer, plans to do three or four regular recipes and a revolving selection of specialty beers, many of them seasonal, like the Doppelbock traditionally released at Christmas.
Seasonal beers are a nice little ritual.
In the end, though, they settled on Michigan. Ann Arbor is a good fit, and the community has been very welcoming and friendly. Hours not yet available Scott and Todd became Ann Arborites last July. Although it doesn't leave them much time for getting to know their new hometown, neither seems to mind.
