Brewing In Mason

About 20 minutes south of Lansing, you can find a small-town home to a county government and a barrage of small businesses. As you get toward the heart of Mason, the large franchises that surround America come to halt and the locally-owned businesses consume the town’s retail market. Among these shops, you’ll find business owner, Brian Rasdale, who owns Mason’s BAD Brewing Company. Rasdale is a St. Johns native and earned his associate’s degree from Lansing Community College.

LANSING — The Great Lakes basin supplies breweries with some of the freshest water in the country.

Engbers was a featured speaker at a recent Great Lakes Water Conservation Conference in Grand Rapids.
