Perrin Brewery
Comstock Park, Michigan

Tall Paul's Pickles
Manchester, Michigan
The name fits! Ever since he was a young boy Paul was always taller than every other kid. He grew up in suburban Detroit with 3 siblings and a passion for sports and vegetables. Green beans were always his favorite with Pickles being a close second, especially his mother’s homemade crock dills. “I still remember going to get fresh cukes with my Mom from the roadside farm stand on 9 mile road in Farmington Michigan every summer” says Paul.
