Cherry Republic’s Night Swim Porter

Bottoms Up

In the words of an unspeakably gorgeous R.E.M. song, “Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.” That song captures the beauty and daring of a late-night dip beneath the start-lit glow of fleeting summer skies, and Cherry Republic’s Night Swim Cherry Porter is a beer brewed in tribute to all the same things. Made with local sweet black cherries and eight different malts, this flavorful brew seems tailor-made for this specific moment of the year. The demonstrable cherry flavor screams summertime, while the malty character and notes of roasted chocolate tilt toward shorter days and cooler temps. It’s the perfect beer for northern Michigan’s “locals’ summer,” when most of the tourists have cleared out but there’s still lots of the most glorious season left to savor. Try some for yourself at Cherry Republic’s Cherry Public House at 6026 South Lake Street in Glen Arbor. (231) 226-3033; cherryrepublic.com/cherry-public-house
