Traverse City Beer Week features brewery fundraisers and visitor rewards

TRAVERSE CITY — Beer Week activities are underway across Northern Michigan, offering opportunities to try craft beers and support regional businesses through Nov. 14. The event celebrates the individuals and businesses driving the local craft beer industry. Beyond venue discounts, the week features charitable fundraising and incentives for visitors exploring local taprooms and breweries. Matt Cozzens, co-owner of 7 Monks Taproom, has participated in Beer Week for over a decade and noted how the local industry has grown. “It’s changed,” Cozzens said. “There’s been more breweries. When I think Traverse City, more quality breweries, different regions can open up breweries and just say they have a brew. We have some really good brew masters in town. And I think people really realize that.” Cozzens noted that the event encourages community members to explore downtown establishments. “It gives everybody an opportunity to check out a variety of different places downtown,” Cozzens said. “Whether there’s breweries or taprooms like us. You can come down and check out what everybody’s offering. There’s discounts throughout the week.” Festivities include a charity event titled “Breweries versus Frostbite” on Thursday night, featuring seven participating breweries to support Project Feed the Kids.

Abdul El-Sayed is for 'shawarma law'. Where to try his favorite, others

Michigan's senator-elect, Abdul El-Sayed, this week joked that he is for "shawarma" not "Sharia" law, when speaking to reporters this week. "Do not believe the people who say I'm for Sharia law, I'm for shawarma law," El-Sayed said at a campaign stop in Macomb County. The joke made light of those who are concerned that El-Sayed, the first Muslim ever elected to the U.S. Senate, will force all Americans to adhere to the religious concepts of Islam, an accusation he has denied. El-Sayed during the conversation then recommended Detroit-area shawarma shop Amo Samis , which operates several locations throughout southeast Michigan. "I want to explain what the tenets of shawarma law are. If you get a shawarma and it's got lettuce in it, it's not shawarma, it's just a sandwich. Someone has lied to you," El-Sayed said on the food. What makes for good shawarma? If you've already tried El-Sayed's favorite, here's a look at five other places to try to the food first created in Turkey. More: El-Sayed calls Vance habibi in victory speech. What does it mean? What is shawarma? Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish made from thin slices of marinated meat — usually chicken, beef, lamb,

A New Season for Paint Grand Traverse

Paint Grand Traverse, Crooked Tree Arts Center’s popular plein air painting competition that draws artists from across the country, is making a shift from June to September for 2027. This isn’t the first time the festival has changed; when it was originally started in 2018, PGT was held in August for its first five years. Organizers say a “later-season schedule offers artists a fresh perspective on Northern Michigan’s landscapes and creates new opportunities for the festival to grow.” Save the date for Sept. 19–26, 2027. But most importantly, this means that applications to join the 2027 event are now open for painters near and far! Find more application information, eligibility details, and updates at crookedtree.org/events-and-exhibitions/events/paint-grand-traverse.
