Three-Ring Brewery and Makerspace

Three-Ring Brewery and Makerspace is a community-focused brewery dedicated to promoting the craft of brewing.

Three-Ring Brewery and Makerspace was founded by a crew of educators who are home-brewers, craft beer enthusiasts, and Michigan locals. We’re taking a different direction in the craft brewery scene and letting YOU be part of the process. If you want to learn to brew, brew better, or just learn more about beer, we offer a variety of experiences from one-on-one brewing sessions to class series devoted to special topics in brewing.

Did you know that more than 500,000 jobs in the U.S. are tied to the craft beer industry?

The craft brewing industry contributed $76.2 billion to the U.S. economy in 2017!

"There's actually more women running the brewing industry than people think," says Brienne Allan, head of Boston's Pink Boots Society chapter and production manager at the Notch Brewing Company in Salem, Mass.

“I would really prefer to be making beer.’ And they just followed their passions.”

What makes Michigan beer different? “Well, for starters, it’s the water,” author William Rapai said. “We have terrific water to work with. Second, it’s the ingenuity of the Michigan brewers. These are creative people. And third, it’s the passion."

“The source of these new jobs and new establishments is no mystery to beer fans. It’s the craft-beer revolution, that Cambrian Explosion of small-scale breweries that have sprouted across the country.”

Corporate goliaths are taking over the U.S. economy. Yet small breweries are thriving. Why?

It's all about the taproom.

New craft breweries open every day, but space on bar drafts and grocery store shelves is limited. Solution? Sell beer on-site.

We're pretty sure craft breweries are even better than coffee houses.

Taprooms springing up across the country are cultivating communities and helping to revitalize entire neighborhoods.

"He also says the brewery’s learned valuable lessons from this 180-degree shift in its thinking: namely, that successful breweries listen to their customers and engage them in the process."

Much respect to Old Nation Brewing Co. and their New Orthodox series for making such a huge contribution to the landscape of Michigan beer.

Old Nation Brewing Co. was making traditional beers that won awards but didn't excite their customers.

Then they brewed a hazy IPA.

Terroir is dead. Long live “origin beer.”

"This is another frontier of what we call beer... It’s going back in time to how beer used to be made."

http://draftmag.com/terroir-is-dead-long-live-origin-beer/

“Beer used to be a function of place because you didn’t have mass transportation. Beer was a local product because it had to be. Today, you’ve lost any sense of origin.”

Our perceptions influence our experiences.

"Beer color profoundly influences our perceptions, not just of style, but of flavor...” yet it's definitely an inexact science (via October)

Any guesses as to where we stand on independent and locally owned breweries?

Will this symbol change which beers you buy?

There was this one time a yellow jacket got into our fermenter...
But apparently, that's not the way it works.

Researchers take microbes—yeast—from bees and convince them to brew beer.

Craft beer's big impact on small towns and forgotten neighborhoods

Investing in small towns can have big impacts.

How do we define "craft" beer? The number of barrels produced? The styles and quality of the beer brewed? The owners of the brewery? It might depend on who you ask.

Beware of "crafty" beers.

We absolutely believe that taprooms are the future of craft beer.

Distribution used to be the dream, but more small breweries are digging deep, local roots.

"Thousands more craft breweries will create hundreds of thousands of jobs, resurgence in locally produced quality products and a sense of community for millions of people." This sounds a lot like the three rings of TRB - Education. Creation. Community.

Don't believe everything you've heard about the demise of the Craft Revolution. An eye-opening perspective in our latest blog post: Everything you read about the craft revolution being over is wrong.
