In life, we face some tough decisions. Here's another one: It's time to pick the best breweries in Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula.

There are two separate polls in this post: one for the UP and one for Northern Michigan. The polls will help us decide where we visit on the search for Michigan's Best Brewery.

Here what you need to know about voting:

— You can vote in each poll once every 24 hours.

— You can vote for up to three different breweries per poll.

— The poll for the Upper Peninsula will close Sept. 7 at 5 p.m.

— The poll for Northern Michigan will close Sept. 9 at 9 p.m.

Here are the polls:

&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;a href="http://polldaddy.com/poll/7371478/"&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Where is the best brewery in the Upper Peninsula&amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;/a&amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;

Gonzo and I will be at the 5th Annual U.P. Fall Beer Festival this Saturday and then visit the top breweries in the Peninsula this Sunday.

We will stop by the top breweries in Northern Michigan during the main tour between Sept. 16-22.

During the tour, Gonzo will be looking for the brewery with the best overall experience, including the variety of beer they produce, quality of menu, if food is offered, ambience and the staff's craft beer IQ.
