A micro-brewery and taproom brewery with a Belgian-inspired beer focus. Located in an old warehouse, the large, unique space is a perfect for imbibing and socializing while enjoying an open and inviting atmosphere. A nice place to visit. Garage door opens and patio available in-season. The neighborhood is an old warehouse area somewhat abandoned buildings, but classic Detroit.

Out-of-the-way, neighborhood micro-brewer. Nice, casual atmosphere. Full menu and excellent food. Wide selection of goof craft beet. Their small batches allow them to experiment with different, sometimes more expensive, ingredients, and also to make changes to recipes on the fly. Friendly atmosphere; feels like a beer hall with long communal tables.  Large patio in-season. One of the Pioneers for Best Beer Downtown Detroit.

Has a minimalist, Scandinavian aesthetic. Smaller, personable space. Features beers from smaller American breweries with limited distributions as well options from so-called nomadic brewers that utilize equipment from more established breweries. Several taps will also be devoted to kombucha and cider. The bar also offers bottles and cans for sale and the business holds a to-go license so customers can purchase four packs at a discount to take home. Wonderful, quaint, personable venue places this spot on the list for Best Beer Downtown Detroit. Great outdoor second floor patio.
