Welcome to the Christmas Edition of Seven Question Beer Sunday. Today’s guest is @thebrewlocker (aka Jenna).
I only know of Jenna via the gram. This Michigan native and new Mom, now living in the Nashville Tennessee area, is the quintessential selfie queen of beers with over 21k followers. Not sure how she does it but she always finds time to answer my questions or reply to my comments. Always! That’s how you rock social media to your advantage, kids!
I hope everyone had a safe and merry holiday with family and friends, sans COVID of course, and have an even safer New Year! Eventually, this historic time will all be behind us and we will be back to normal soon.
A big thank you to Jenna for taking the time out of her busy days to answer my 7 questions.
Cheers 🍻

1 – Which style beer do you prefer, IPA or Stouts, and why?
This is a tough question. Tough because I don’t like traditional IPA’s and my palette has changed since being pregnant. So, I guess I’d have to say IPA’s which is pretty remarkable to me! I’ve said for years I HATE IPAS. But, I really enjoy Milkshake IPA’s, NEIPAS, and Sour IPAs.
2 – Ever have Three Floyds Dark Lord? If yes, what did you think?
I have not ever had that beer by them, but I did have a few different ones while at a beer festival a few years ago! Amber Waves Beer Fest in Indiana. It was a blast!
3 – Last time you met friends at a brewery since COVID?
I met a friend for lunch a few weeks ago at Blackhorse Brewing.
4 – Favorite brewery or beer from Michigan?
I have two. My favorite statewide brewery would be Oddside. They have a stupid amount of beer to offer and it’s ALL GOOD! My favorite Detroit local brewery is Brew Detroit. They have a great atmosphere, fantastic beer, and some amazing people working there!
5 – Ever drink an IPA twelve months past its born on date and if yes how did it taste?
I have actually! I did it for a “Face your Beers” segment on Drinking Alone With Friends. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be considering the first time I had it I despised that style.
6 – Do you prefer your beer from a can, glass, or bottle, and why?
I prefer my beer poured into proper glassware, and preferably from the tap! I like to look at the beer. See the bubbles, the color, the head. I like to smell it as I’m drinking it because smell adds to taste and can alter the flavor.
(editor note: I think proper glassware adds to the experience)
7 – What was the name and location of the first brewery you visited?
Oh boy. Uhhhh. I need a moment to think on this! I believe it was Arbor Brewing in Ann Arbor MI. Cute spot in downtown Ann Arbor. Their first location too! They’ve since relocated from that quaint building.
