Five Years Ago in Ye Olde Brew News.

On December 1, 2000 the Arbor Brewing Company rolled out its Terminator 2000 beer. Here is David Cord's announcement.

On December 1, 2000 the Arbor Brewing Company will be debuting their Terminator dobblebock. I think this is the best micro brewed beer available. Matt and Rene Greff would like to invite all FORD brewers to attend. Their is usually a 2 beer limit as this beer weighs in at a healthy 8% ABV. They will start serving this delightful liquid at 7 pm. Remember Dec 1, is a friday or saturday night this year. I will be in attendance for the fifth year in a row!!! If anyone would like to meet me and my wife they can call me at 734-591-7928 (Please no calls after 9 pm) or email atdcords@umich.edu
Thanks,
David Cords
