Axle Brewing Co.

There is no Axle, but there will always be Mudgie's Deli & Wine Bar..this world is not fair. Not at All.

'Corktown has lost its heart': Greg Mudge, owner of Mudgie's Deli, dies at age 46 Owner and founder of Mudgie's Deli and Bar Greg Mudge has passed away unexpectedly at the age of 46.

Go have a tasty coffee and tasty treat this am at Ferndale Project & stuff some cash for Affirmations into the box & take home a piece of our joint! (Unless you were one of the people who stole every damn poster we put above the urinals, you’re all set!)

Miss Axle Brewing Co.? Grab one of these great treasures to take home! Donations optional; proceeds will benefit Affirmations.

Respect Your Mother! And go have some! Likely the last keg of Mother Handsome Double IPA tapped at Cork & Gabel in Corktown! Can’t thank these guys enough for their support long after we closed our doors! Cheers!

Yes!!!! To all of you who signed the petition & bugged your legislators, cheers! Our friends from Eastern Market Brewing Co led a charge many thought futile & we are so proud to have played a small role in this! This change will enable small brewers to control their destiny and brand when its most important! Thank you, thank you!

We did it.

Yesterday, House Bill No. 5343 was introduced, doubling the self-distribution limit for small breweries like us. This arbitrary limit restricted the amount of beer small craft breweries could sell directly to bars and restaurants, requiring us to sign with a distributor if we wanted to take beer to your favorite watering hole.

It took twelve long months (and a lot of persistence), but finally, House Bill No. 5343 was introduced by State Representative Pauline Wendzel (huge shout out!). With bipartisan support, we expect it to be officially signed into law very soon.

Thank you to everyone who supported us in making this change happen. In the end, we brought together more than 50 Michigan breweries to publicly support this effort (and many more behind the scenes), as well as countless retailers and even two distributors. All three tiers of the three-tier system. And just as important, all of you who signed our petition and helped to create awareness.

Next up: let's get dogs back in the EMBC taproom.
