Blackrocks is a small craft brewery in Marquette, Michigan, US, located on the south shore of Lake Superior. Over the last 14 years it has grown from a (remarkably) small operation in a former residential home to being Michigan's ninth-largest brewer.

This article is a change of pace for me, as all of my previous FAs are related to warships. It has undergone a GAN by An anonymous username, not my real name and a pre-FAC review from Mike Christie. Thanks for your thoughts! Ed  [talk]  [OMT] 04:14, 6 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Support. I don't have anything to add to the comments I made on the talk page. Mike Christie ( talk - contribs - library) 09:54, 6 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Comments

  • There's a few statements with "as of" dates, almost all of which are in the present tense, no matter what year they refer to e.g. "As of 2019, 51K IPA is Blackrocks' most popular beer" - 2019 was five years ago, so should this be in the past tense....? I note that you do have "As of 2021, Blackrocks was the ninth-largest brewery" in the past tense
  • "made it the second largest brewery [...] and raised them" - subject changes from being singular to plural mid-sentence
  • That's all I got - nice work! -- ChrisTheDude ( talk) 12:28, 10 May 2024 (UTC) reply
    • Thanks, ChrisTheDude! I've updated these statements. I removed the as of 2019 entirely, as it's still the most popular beer and has been for most of the brewery's existence. Ed  [talk]  [OMT] 19:38, 10 May 2024 (UTC) reply

Recusing to review.

  • Link taproom.
  • "location is located" is a little clumsy.
  • "That soon became a common occurrence, and the two soon expanded". "soon ... soon ..." A tweak perhaps?
  • "an upper patio space followed later in 2022." later in 2022? What opened earlier in 2022?
  • "a local 50K ski marathon plus an additional 1K that would be needed". Kilometer needs writing out in full in both cases.
  • "It was one of the first beers they ever canned"> Delete "ever".
  • "one of the best new breweries in the state of Michigan". Out of how many?
  • "Blackrocks produced about 11,000 barrels of beer". What would this be in more familiar units?

Nice. I feel like a beer now. Gog the Mild ( talk) 18:54, 1 June 2024 (UTC) reply
