A great American Amber Ale brewed by Bell's exclusively for the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Last year Michigan Meijer stores sold this and other Grand Hotel goodies like wine, clothing, towels, glassware, and tasty taffy.. I'm not sure if they are going to do it again this year or not. To the best of my knowledge, Meijer was the only place outside of the Grand Hotel that sold Big Porch, but I've heard of it possibly popping up elsewhere. Bell's website makes no mention of Big Porch Ale either. Some argue that this is just their Amber Ale re-packaged. I'd have to compare the two, side by side, to know for sure.
