Excerpts from woodtv.com:

A Kalamazoo brewery is adding a new ale to its tap list. It’s a special beer, brewed to memorialize Comstock Fire Chief Ed Switalski, who was killed in the line of duty last month.

“He was a great man and the firemen that are here are good friends,” said Brian Steele of Boatyard Brewing Company.

On Wednesday night, Switalski’s fellow firefighters decided to honor him with a special brew. They hope it will help keep his memory alive.

Switalski’s beer will be a red ale. Beyond that, they aren’t releasing many details about the ale, including what it will be named.
