Nice place to get good to excellent beers, watch a game, hang out, and maybe even get some food. Prices are very good, only 7-8 beers on tap at any given time, though. Brewer has been testing the limits with beers lately, with doing double IPAs, wits, belgians, fruits, and smokes. Black Jack Coffee Hazelnut takes the cake though, wonderful beer. ABV is modest with nothing over 9%. I expect to see this place expanding their selection soon enough.

Very odd location - in a minimall. Beers are decent but nothing worth coming again and again for. Food was what you’d expect, nothing special.

The highest ABV available is 6.0, the highest IBU was 25. Samples were provided in a small plastic thimble and the taste wasn’t close to reflecting the same beer from a pint glass (the server agreed that the tastes aren’t the same). Three of us had a different beer and each was very disappointed and agreed that the beers we were served were like a beginning brewer using an extract kit where the finish doesn’t. This shop has been open for 2.5 years. I can’t figure how a brewer could stay open with such empty tasting products (this bud is not for me). It is in a strip mall near many big box retailers. Perhaps that is their target audience.

In a north suburb of Detroit this place is kind of hard to find at night for an out-of-towner even with the address. It is located among many other business in a big mall. It’s basically just another medium-size sports-bar that brew their own beers. The food menu is very affordable but very basic. Burgers, wraps, pizzas, etc. I had a chicken wrap that was ok but the Brew City Hot Scoops that accompanied it were quite something. Six beers on tap when I was there and all were standard styles (Blonde, Stout, Pale Ale, Mild, etc.). Don’t expect original or extreme beers from this pub, this is not the crowd for that. However I had the Irish Stout and the Pale Ale and both were solid basic beer. Worth a stop for a quick snack and a few beers. I wouldn’t spend an evening there.

Great food, good rotating selection of house-brewed beers. Best part is that it’s smoke-free!!!
