- New enough, long enough. The article itself is cited, neutral, and does not contain noticable copyvios from reading the cited article and Earwigs. AGF for sentences where only the Magnaghi source is provided. Hook 1's "hundreds of used skis" is a bit unclear in terms of the actual number of skis: the source seems to imply hundreds as in "a lot of skis", while the hook seems to imply the literal meaning of hundred. I personally prefer ALT2 since the two seeminng unrelated fields makes the hook more interesting.

It's very good already. The only issues are quite minor:
- In the lead, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is linked while the Lower Peninsula of Michigan is not.
- "424 N. Third Street" should be spelled out in the first use.
- "Recognition and beer" could probably just be "Recognition".
- Shouldn't the "Endnotes" section be renamed "References" and the "References" section be renamed "Further reading"? I'm a little confused why it's organized this way.
- It's up to you, but consider linking — either externally or wikilinking — the sites that provided the sources cited.
- The Mining Journal is occasionally referenced as just Mining Journal.
Excellent work. I will await your reply. An anonymous username, not my real name 02:43, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
- I only noticed after posting my initial review, but the logo should have a caption, perhaps stating when it was adopted. Placing on hold now. Good luck. An anonymous username, not my real name 02:46, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
- @An anonymous username, not my real name: Apologies for the delay here! All of these should be addressed except for "recognition and beer". I used that section header because it includes both the ranked coverage of their beer and a short list of their year-round beers. On the logo, as far as I know there's no source that directly says when it was introduced, but it's been in use since the brewery opened. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 21:54, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Fair enough. It looks like it's in good enough shape now. Congrats! An anonymous username, not my real name 21:58, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
