EAST LANSING, MICHIGAN
Michigan State University’s farm-hemmed ‘Moo-U’ campus boasts decent HARPER’S RESTAURANT & BREWPUB, with its red-bricked green-trimmed exterior, twin patios, centralized bar, and six-screen TV.
On September ’04 trip, tap beers included Bavarian-styled football team salutation Spartan Wheat (a lemon slice usurps citric pale malts), wheat-soured English mild ale Harper’s Light, banana-clove piquancy Burning Couch Hefe-Weizen, tart berry-melon-tangerine-aided Raspberry Wheat, sharply bitter perfume-hopped, orange peel-soured Grove St. Pale Ale, and milk chocolate-y, marshmallow-sweetened, ice coffee-backed Imperial Porter.
