Keweenaw Brewing Company
- ... that the Keweenaw Brewing Company is the largest brewery in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan? Source: "Most craft beer drinkers have heard of Keweenaw Brewing; it's the U.P.'s largest brewery, producing more than 11,000 barrels in 2018, according to state tax data." [1]
- ALT1:... that the Keweenaw Brewing Company's most popular beer gets its "widow maker" nickname from a dangerous drill once used to mine copper? Source: Magnaghi, p. 88. Not online, but here's a quote (yes, the comma after "ale" is in the original): "Widow Maker Black Ale, refers to the one-man mining drill or "widow maker" so feared by copper miners."

Overall: 
All points check out, Earwig is happy, and both hooks are cited, ready to go. I think the main hook is okay, the source is dated December 2019, which is pretty recent. It says this was the largest brewery in 2018, and the second largest was some way behind. In theory, they could have changed places by now? But the source confirms the hook. In any event, ALT1 is hookier. Moonraker (talk) 05:00, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, Moonraker! While it's possible that they've switched positions, we wouldn't know that until the next round of tax data is released—what's in the article is the most recent data that is available. (Beyond that, but on a bit of an original research tangent, Keweenaw has a much wider distribution area outside the state of Michigan, which would widen the disparity.)
