We are deeply saddened by Steve “Bert” Berthel’s passing. He brought passion to everything he was involved in especially the Michigan beer community. So many have expressed their sadness to the loss of a dear friend and colleague. He meant a lot to a lot of people. His influence went beyond the beer industry, as he helped many folks in the music industry as well. We will miss our friend, but his memory will always be with us.
