The good folks in Michigan just rejected our label submission for Bitches Brew. That's the beer we are doing with Sony to celebrate the 40th anniversary if the eponymous Miles Davis album (it'll be out towards the end of August). Apparently, they don't like the word 'bitches.' My wife Mariah says they are a bunch of @$;&ing @";&-$@bags for denying us. But that seems harsh to me. Calling an office full of state officials you don't know a bunch of "sailing canvasbags" is just crazy talk, I think (although I'm betting they can sell the album there!).
Oh well, I'm glad we got this news while on our family vacation overlooking Dogfish Head on Southport Island, Maine.
Here's a shot of the view at sunset.
Serenity now! Serenity now!
Tonight Mariah and I are going off-island! Having dinner with Rob Tod (of Allagash Brewery) and his wife Betsy. I told him we would treat in return for a case of Allagash White and a few bottles of Trippel. I'm thinking those beers will go great with our lobster bake this weekend.
We also had a nice wheat beer in a 22 from Penobscot Bay Brewery.
Wicked Gud beahs frum down east! You betcha!

Air Jordans is one of the most popular brands of shoes ever released. The brand was created by Nike Shoes in 1985 for arguably the best basketball player of all time, Micheal Jordan. Since then, Air Jordans has released a new model of their basketball kicks each year. The first release of Air Jordan shoes (also known as ‘Cheap Jordans’) were known as the Air Jordan 1. The styles go numerically from 1-23 or I-XXIII and continue with the models 2009 and Air Jordan 2010. Micheal Jordan wore the # 23 for a good portion of his basketball career, which was the reason why the models only go up to 23 and then continue in a different format. There are hundreds of styles of Air Jordan shoes, all with their own unique design. Each model of shoe has its own story behind it. Here are some interesting facts about each model of Air Jordans.

Just found a few weeks ago myself that Michigan doesn't allow Bitches Brew. After seeing the Brewmasters episode, I quickly ran out to see if it was or would be available. The good people at "Tiffany's wine and spirits shoppe" here in Kalamazoo MI explained to me why they couldn't carry it. They were surely unhappy about it, and I couldn't believe my ears....the label?! We have enough money problems in this state, I would think that censoring a beer label isn't that big of a priority. This is 2010 for Gods sake. Highly disappointed here. As much as I would love to try this beer here in my home state, I wouldn't want Sam to change the label, name, or any other thing about it. Guess i'll have to try and score some next time I'm in Illinois.
i feel so bad for all my fellow michiganders. im currently stationed in yuma and just bout out the store off base of bitches brew. my dad back in michigan will be recieving one of these guys via my own mail. besides isnt granholm the GOV. going to jail. i say keep the beer flowing everywhere
Just want everyone at Dogfish to know how disappointed our customers are. I have been asked every day since BrewMasters started for the Bitches Brew. Many folks get talking about Miles Davis, so in a way the tribute is working, but without the beer. At least the State will let us sell on Sunday mornings and do some tastings in the store now that the new law just passed. Let yout local representative know how you feel. Thanks.

I apologize on behalf of everyone in our state. This is absolutely shameful.
I totally agree with every comment made by my fellow michiganders.
I would love to know how to get the Bitches in Michigan.
As a Michigander I am truly embarrassed. We here in MI will try to get the word out to craft beer and miles davis fans alike and get them to reconsider. Enjoy your vacation.
I am a huge jazz fan and actually own the Bitches Brew album. I personally like Seven Steps to Heaven better, but the amazing creativity of the artwork for Bitches' is tough to deny. How is it the MLCC can pretend to guard the reputation of the state by not allowing this beer in, when we have no problem showing our pride for Eminem and Kid Rock, both of whom use that word and string much more misogynistic themes in their music? I will definitely contact the state with a plea to bring Bitches'Brew here.
And please accept my apologies for mentioning Miles Davis and Eminem and Kid Rock within 2 sentences of each other.
