5/19/2018 -- Michael Sadler Memorial Beer Release

Hey Diddle Diddle and Sadler's Banana Hammock Release!

Join us Saturday May 19th at 3PM for the Second Annual Mike Sadler Memorial Beer Release!

The Story Behind This Year's Beer

Mike Sadler was a gifted Michigan State University All-American punter and Academic All-American; however, his charisma, character, and ever-present sense of humor are the part of his legacy many people most remember. Sadler’s Banana Hammock is a tribute to Mike as retold by his friends and teammates, who helped create this beer based on the fond stories they recall...like when Mike’s homebrew experiment resulted in a banana beer explosion in his closet....like how Mike ate very healthy…except for his consistent intake of powdered sugar donuts....like how Mike decided to do a photo shoot in a Speedo…and then filled a coach’s office with the salacious printouts.

Sadler's Banana Hammock is a 12% ABV Belgian Triple with bananas, oranges, and 100 pounds of mini powdered donuts. This beer is a unique take to a unique guy, so raise your glass in memory of Mike!

Hey Diddle Diddle commemorating Mike's infamous Rose Bowl fake punt play that resulting in him running the ball in for a MSU touchdown, this All-American Wheat Ale was brewed with Apricots, Blood Oranges and Rose Petals.
