We at Revision Legal love craft beer–especially Michigan craft beer, which is why we were incredibly excited to contribute to the crowdfunding campaign of our clients and friends at Rare Bird Brewpub in Traverse City, Michigan.

Cheers to our friends at Rare Bird Brewpub to many more years of success.
