\u201cIt\u2019s kind of everyone looking at one ingredient like you would with an ‘Iron Chef’ competition,\u201d said [Wob] Wanhatalo, who, until this month was brewing at The Hideout Brewing Co.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat can I do with the beer that best represents that ingredient, but also trying to be different from everyone else?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
…<\/p>\n
\u201cThe brewing culture is very collaborative in West Michigan,\u201d said Barry VanDyke, co-owner of Harmony Brewing Co. \u201cWe enjoy each other\u2019s company and we enjoy testing our skills against one another in a fun way. We\u2019re hopeful that beer lovers will test out a few different versions and let us know what they think of them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
