Now on tap at the Bootlegger Bar, Atwater Brewery's Purple Gang Pilsner. This German style pilsner is an ode to the Detroit Mafia family known as the Purple Gang. Most notably the property that Forest Dunes sits on was once called the South Branch Ranch and legend has it the Purple Gang stored alcohol here during prohibition. Grab yourself a pint of Purple Gang Pilsner at the Bootlegger Bar this weekend.

Such a fun 10 hole short course at Forest Dunes Golf Club in Roscommon called the Bootlegger! Up to 12 people can play together, there’s music on the course, and you can go around as many times as you want. 58 and windy didn’t stop us from having a blast and making some great memories!
