So So Good So So So So N/A
I suppose it says alot when a good third of the customers sitting at the bar were drinking martinis or other beverages instead of the beer. The porter I had looked like porter, but consistency was watery and taste reminded me of a lager.

Nothing special here. Beer is thin with little body and taste. Food about average. Service was a bit slow at the start, but picked up toward the end.

The beer selection was OK, but the quality was horrible. I had 2 beers, and both had a sour, infected taste. On top of that, the beers tasted kind of watery with no real flavor. The service was terrible--slow and a long time to place and get an order.

We were there on a Saturday night and the place was packed. The beer was very good, with two cask conditioned, ale and stout. We tried their regular stout and pale ale, both were very good. Our waiter, Timothy, was excellent; friendly, knowledgeable and funny. This place is worth a stop.

Beer and food are quite good. It tends to be very crowded but worth a visit.

One of the best brewpubs in the area. They had all 3 of the requirements. Selection, quality and Cask conditioned. Donna the bartender was attentive and beer knowledgable. Great place in the Detroit suburbs.

This place is an absolute must!!! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The brews are awesome!! The sampler consisted of 8 brews. The Heffe was great as was the pale ale. The specialty brew was incredible!!! Also, one of the most flavorful lagers I have ever experienced at a brew-pub anywhere!! Nice upscale atmosphere but, far from snooty. If you order a dinner they give you a free pint!! How cool is that!!! They also offered a rich,wonderfully unique stout!! This is well worth the effort!! Enjoy!!

The food was exellent. Good sized portions. The beer selection was quite goog. Their IPA was very good, but the cask conditioned Scotch Ale had an isopropylish flavor. Not impressed with that particular brew. The rest is good. Prices are good for the type of business. Definately worth stopping in again.

Not run of the mill brew pub - its a bit more upscale. Beer is good, espesially the IPA, and the summer British Ale. Food is excellent - not your normal burger menu. My wife loves the mashed potatoes!

The beers have been improving. When they first opened they were kind of watery and not distinct as their flowing descriptions would lead you to believe. The food has been excellent and service good. Worth a stop - but it has a suburbia/chain restaurant feel to it.

A little more pricey and "upscale" than most other brewpubs. Beers were above average. I'm not generally a big fan of dark beers, but I found their Promethian Porter to be very good. Also liked the Vulcan Vienna Ale and Firelight Lager. The food is not bad, although as I mentioned, a little expensive.

This is much better than your run-of-the-mill suburban brewpub. The staff seemed proud of their beers, justifiably so. The only oinker was the "American corn & adjunct swill" which they ply on Bud lite drinkers. I thought the soup was very flavorful. Definitely worth going back.

Interesting use of smoked hardwoods for grilling. Sampler presented the typical selection, all pretty well made but no standouts. The cider was the real sleeper here -- they make their own from a recipe they bought. Too bad you can't get it in a growler. Kid friendly, tours offered. We will go back.

An interesting place in that the regular beers were OK, but the cask conditioned ales were incredible (usually not the case). The Imperial Stout and the IPA were among the tastiest beers that I have ever had. The food was very pricey given that it wasn't that flavorful, but I am pretty picky - a $20 entree should be flawless. My server was incredible - she seemed to know everything I needed at the instant that I needed it. Can't wait to get back for some more cask conditions.

This is a very new brewpub but the quality is already excellent. The bartender said that they are affiliated with Grizzly Peak in Ann Arbor. The two cask conditioned beers were the best. The bitter was very hoppy and smooth and the Imperial Stout had a "warm" alcohol feel in addition to the roasted flavor. The regular beers, from a good lager to an excellent porter and pale ale are also recommended. We only had soup and pizza to eat but both were good. To top it off the bar is right next to a Home Depot. Beer and a hardware store, what could be better?
