Rolling Oak’s GoodAle Chocolate

Bottoms Up
By Lynda Wheatley | Feb. 13, 2021

Blink and you’ll miss one of Rolling Oak Brewery’s seemingly endless array of libation creations concocted with donuts from legendary Grayling bakery and neighbor, Goodale’s bakery. The brewery recently blew our minds (and resolved our inner beer v. dessert battle) with a pint of their latest, GoodAle Chocolate, a fully satisfying creation with hints of vanilla. It goes exceptionally well with their peanut-butter porter — especially when the pair share the same glass — but if you get there too late to taste it (or them), hold steady; word is they just brewed a batch of their OG GoodAle Cream Ale last week. Find Rolling Oak Brewery at 509 Norway St., in Grayling. (989) 745-6280
