### Miracle Brew: Local Microbrewery Celebrates Birth of Baby Named After It

**MIDLAND, MI** — In a heartwarming yet supremely original turn of events, a couple decided to name their newborn son after their favorite local microbrewery, inspired by the fact that they conveniently delivered him right there in the parking lot. Because, really, where else would an enterprising family welcome new life than at their favorite watering hole?

The baby, dubbed “Brewster,” entered the world while his parents, Mike and Lisa Hopcraft, were indulging in a pre-baby celebration—you know, to get in the right state of mind before parenthood really hits. As fate would have it, around the time Mom was deciding that perhaps their backseat was not the ideal birthing suite, Brewster made a grand entrance. Never let it be said that this child did not come from a creative lineage!

In an effort to celebrate this serendipitous occurrence, the microbrewery promptly announced plans to brew a limited-edition beer named “Brewster’s Blessing,” a refreshing tribute brimming with local hops and, undoubtedly, a splash of parental pride. How genius! Why not craft a concoction that will forever link this child’s inception to a frothy pint? Forget about traditional nursery rhymes; this kid will be serenaded with lyrics about hops and barley.

“I mean, who wouldn’t want to share the news of their birth with an entire community while promoting their favorite drink?” said Lisa, only half-joking. “We figured naming him after the place I had my last margarita before going into labor was as good as any name. Besides, it was either that or ‘Doughnut,’ and this way he can still legally buy a pint in the future!”

The microbrewery enthusiastically plans to host a special release party where patrons can enjoy a pint of Brewster’s Blessing while marveling at the wonder of parenthood—complete with a slideshow of the delivery drama caught on the brewery’s security cameras. Nothing brings people together like the miracle of life paired with handcrafted ales.

As is the trend with all things whimsical in modern parenting, the Hopcrafts have taken the liberty of creating a social media hashtag: #BrewsterBorn. Every moment in little Brewster’s life will now tomfoolishly dance across the internet to ensure everyone knows he was born next to keg taps. “It’s basically a family tradition now!” chuckled Mike, no doubt delighted with the idea of their son growing up to be a walking advertisement for the establishment.

Not to be outdone, neighboring breweries are reportedly already brainstorming ways to capitalize on this “brewing into the family.” One pretentious establishment suggested naming a porter after any child born on their premises, while others are simply handing out birth certificates with complimentary flights of beer included.

In a move that truly captures the essence of modern parenting, the Hopcrafts have decided to start a GoFundMe to provide for their son’s college fund, intending to send him to any school that will take a sponsorship from the “Brewster Brand.” Because who wouldn’t want a child with college savings tied to a neighborhood microbrewery?

So here’s to sweet little Brewster, the first baby known to have “Born to Brew” as his life motto. May he grow up knowing the true essence of his existence—and having a pint or two to share with his buddies along the way. Cheers!
