Hazards Microbrewery Beer

Hazards has a new brew master this year.

His name is Clint McLaughlin and he is also the assistant brewer at the Maumee Bay Brewing Co. in Toledo.

Pictured here is Clint making a batch of German style ale called Colsch. It's brewered like a lager and has a clean peachy flavor.

Hazards is the biggest microbrewery on Middle Bass and the only one where you can see the brewery equipment from the bar.

Hazards Microbrewery beer is paired well with the lobster macaroni and cheese they feature or a fish sandwich.

Great Lakes, Sam Adams, Lienie's Sunset Wheat and Bud Light are also on draft. And there's also daily draft beer specials starting at $2.

Hazards is known for its' good food at affordable prices. Now you'll need to try out the beer made right here on Middle Bass Island.

Hazards open for the 2009 season

Hazards opened for the 2009 season and the first pizza was served. Don and Sandy, 10 year residents at St. Hazards, were the first official pizza customers.

Memorial Weekend was our busiest in two years, so a fun year is expected.

The full Hazards entertainment schedule starts in June.

We had computer problems with updates, but all is fixed and expect frequent ones now.

Docks are Installed at the Middle Bass Marina

The marina basin was completed last year and now the first docks have been installed. Construction crews are on Middle Bass this spring to finish the docks so that the first boats can arrive by the June 1st completion date.

Middle Bass Marina Before and After

Here's a photo we took about seven years ago of the Middle Bass marina and one taken last week. You can see the entire middle area has been removed and the entrance is now to the north of the old channel (part of the old channel is still visible). Back then the St. Hazards condos were still under construction.

The floating docks are scheduled to start arriving the week of April 13th.

Latest Aerial Photos of the New Marina

Thanks to pilot Terry Kelly from Sandusky, we were able to take some new photos of the Middle Bass marina. These photos were taken on April 2 before the construction crews were back on the island. A barge with the docks is to arrive the week of April 6th to start that installation. Work on the water, sewer and electric lines should also start then.

First Scheduled Miller Ferry of 2009 arrives

Friday March 27th marked the first scheduled arrival of the Miller Ferry to Middle Bass Island. The first crew members of St. Hazards also arrived to start the long spring cleaning process that will take more than a month. Next week work on the new marina will also resume. It's still scheduled to open by June.

Also seen on Friday was Captain Stan's school boat (the white one in the photo) going to Put-in-Bay to pick up the kids from school and a barge working for Ohio Edison to make improvements to the electric service. Middle Bass Island gets its' electricity by an underwater cable from Put-in-Bay.
