On November 1, 1957, the Mackinac Bridge opened. It is a suspension bridge the connects the Upper and Lower peninsulas of Michigan, that connects the two. It connects the city of St. Ignace on the north with the village of Mackinaw City on the south. It is the longest suspension bridge between anchorages in the Western Hemisphere.
The bridge is dedicated as "the world's longest suspension bridge between anchorages" as it is shorter than the Golden Gate Bridge, which has a longer center span. Additionally the designation allows it to be considered longer than the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
The bridge is currently a toll bridge on Interstate 75. The toll is currrently $3 for cars and $3.50 per axle for trucks. Every Labor Day, part of the bridge is closed to traffic and open to walkers for the Mackinac Bridge Walk. It averages 11,608 vehicles per day. With the leadup to the bridge, the length from shoreline to shoreline is 5 miles.
About the beer:
A deep golden-orange hue provides the backdrop for a well-balanced, medium bodied ale. Hop flavor and aroma are distinctly American with a spicy, citrus finish.The Michigan Brewing company is located in Webberville, Michigan. They started in 1996. They are probably most famous for their Celis White, which was the Wit beer made by Pierre Celis, and is considered to be the original recipe for Hoegaarden.
