DEXTER, MI - Fans of the Spartans and Wolverines typically don't need a reason to stoke the flames of their intense in-state rivalry - but they've just gotten another one.
A year after successfully launching its maize and blue-inspired Hail American Pale Ale, North Peak Brewing company is bringing the craft beer back to shelves with a six-pack rival: the MSU-influenced Sparta American IPA.
Both beers are expected to be in stores by Labor Day, Northern United Brewing Company Manager Jon Carlson said. Additionally, it is North Peak's first foray into the can format, making it perfect for tailgating Saturdays in East Lansing and Ann Arbor.
