I was greeted by a nice bartender Jennifer- and then selected the 3C IPA-- a really nice beer. After she mentioned it was one of their award winning beers. So-- I guess she validated my selection. I was there too early for a meal but would return again and even go out of my way to return to do so. My GP logo pint glass is getting my collection close to 150.

Wow- maybe the best brewpub in the State- my humble opinion. Certainly the busiest. Sells more beer than any brewpub in the State of Michigan according to the Michigan Liquor Control. Come see why this is the case. The beer is fantastic.

Fun place to be down town. Pretty cool atmosphere. The Grizzly Pale Ale was very good, the other selections were so so. Just not to my liking. The pizza was pretty good. I'd stop in again.

This is essentially the same as North Peak in Traverse City. And like that branch, the beer was unimpressive. Tried the heffeweizen, which was too banana-y and floral, but yet was thin and flat.

Nice beer selection and quality beers one would expect from a brewpub where folks pay attention. The night I was there the chef had a special -- salmon roasted in a corn husk, served over hominy, which in turn was flavored with peppers & tomatoes and had a nice level of spiciness. Even had local (thank you) spinach spread about over the hominy. This was truly a pleasant, unexpected treat. I managed to get through three pints, running from weiszen (not so spiffy, but not a weiszen fan here) to IPA (excellent) to another IPA (thank you again). Nice evening. Then headed down to Conor O'Neill's down the street to catch some music, Guinness, and top the evening off with a shot of McCallum's. Life is good.

Started my Michigan beer crawl here. 9 beers offered; I tried some that were new to me. Oast House Ale was malty and smooth, while the Steelhead Red had a tinge of sweetness to it. The Pale was very similar to the Oast House and the Bearpaw Porter was very good, very drinkable. The most unique offering this trip was Juniper Ale on cask. Being a reformed gin drinker, I always take any opportunity to remind myself of the great flavor of juniper. There was lots of juniper in the nose and the flavor meshed with the hops nicely--I could see myself having more than a few if I were a regular here.

Like this place a lot. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Good place to crawl to if your visiting AA, or just a local looking for a good brew and a good time. :-)

Still struggling with U of M's loss, I drowned myself in Irish pleasure with the County Cork's Irish Stout, very roasted and chewy. We also sampled the ESB which was a nice, hoppy change. Keep em coming.

6 taps, 3 casks when I stopped by. Cask ESB malty with a slight tartness at end. They put on a barleywine on cask while I was there. Unique to me to see one on cask. Sweet/tart dominated the flavors, perhaps not suited to cask format?

This is a solid brewpub, but it's nothing to turn cartwheels over. I had their cask-conditioned summer ale and ESB. The summer ale had a pleasing flavor, and the ESB tasted like an ESB, but neither had the aromas typical in cask-conditioned ales. Moreover, both were served far too cold to allow for those aromas to develop. The food and service were fine. Grizzly Peak certainly beats the hell out of Ann Arbor brewing, but does not hold it's own when compared to other brewpubs around the country. It is worth a try if you're in Ann Arbor.

I went there on New Year's Eve for dinner, and was pleasantly surprised by their IPA and scotch ale. Both were brewmaster specials, and they were outstanding. I wish they would add these beers as regular offerings. The food and service were also great.

This is one of my favorite places to go. I can't say all the beers are great, since I don't care for all types, but I do find their Porter, ESB, Red and Octoberfest AWESOME. The food is quite tasty, too. I don't eat red meat, but can always find something delicious. The only gripe I might have is that their sweet potatoe fries are underdone at times. Service is great, too. I usually go away with a couple of growlers.

Old, brick/wood building on a main street. 7 beers on tap [lus 3 on the cask. Beers are OK, with some being better than average, but none that were outstanding. I've never had a lambic on cask before, but it too, was nothing special. There were strange odors throughout the place, possibly from cleaning products or the like. The bartender was very helpful with samples and his choices were among the best I had there (IPA and porter).

Sounds like Dylan from NC just has a problem with Ann Arbor. Overall, I think GP does a pretty good job. Couldn't he just order his hamburger without the "fancy fixings" that he had to remove?

Most of the beers here are unimpressive. Sometimes they do a speciality beer that is quite good. A scotch ale they had in December was fantastic, and a scottish 90-schilling ale they had recently was decent. But if you want great beer, go down the street to Arbor Brewing. The food here is good, but it depends on what you order. I had a reuben that was okay, but not great.

I found that GP beers were very bland and lacked much real character. I agree with another reviewer that they seemed to reflect a "corporate" feel, possibly to appeal to a wider audience that may not fully appreciate what a good IPA or Abbey ale should taste like. I also found that the atmosphere and the food were very snooty. By this I mean that you can't just order a hamburger. You have to get a hamburger with all sorts of fancy fixings all over it that I later had to peel off. Not a big deal to some, and I'm sure that some like it, but to a simple guy like me it is a bit over the top, but so is most of Ann Arbor. The wait staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

We used some of our vacation time to check out ann arbor. This was the Number #1 brewpub. I had a beer I can't know recall, but It was great, Ordered the steak sandwich with it I ordered a 10 year old whiskey which was awesome! If I worked near this place. I would be a regular. Cheers

Grizzly Peak is the place to go for dinner with beers. The beer is very good, but it seems that GP aims to make it a bit bland in an attempt to broaden its appeal. GP is after all a franchise and I would say the beer reflects this with "corporate" flavor undertones. My favorites are usually the cask-conditioned ales, which are made on a smaller scale and are unique to each GP establishment, as opposed to being uniform across the franchise (McBeer? :) GP is more of a yuppie bar than a place to drink beer, with an upscale clientele. Unlike the beer, the food is excellent and the menu broad and varied. I suggest dining at GP with a beer or two, then heading down the block to Arbor Brewing, which has the best beer in Ann Arbor, but lower quality food.
