#44 (I'm pretty sure) in the Metro Detroit Brewery Discovery Tour.
Great location. September 1st, 78° F. The outside seating is expansive, easily exceeding the amount of indoor seating by square footage certainly. And it is calling nearly everyone. On the street side (east) are 8 tables on faux grass with 80% of the area shaded by awnings. The parking lot facing side (north) is shaded to a lesser extent but both are a great place to imbibe or eat on beauteous summer day like this one.
Indoors is a bit louder - mostly due to the music played therein (alt-rock) - with many big, picnic-style tables to relax at and enjoy food & brews, as well.
They had only 6 beers, 3 "creations", seltzer and wine available. The darkest beer was a just added marzen/oktoberfest. A wheat, a hefeweizen, two sours and some IPAs. Not a very broad offering of styles.
After getting my first beer I headed outside. All the tables were occupied save one and it was covered with a previous party's leftover glasses and food trays. But the somewhat comfy, Adirondack style chairs were there so I shoved some of the detritus over and claimed my space. An hour & a half - a refill - later and no one had even ventured from behind the bar to the outside areas. Three hours after arrival and there were now multiple tables with dishes & glassware. Four-plus hours, and having hit the bottom of my 2nd brew, the tables were still full of dishes, glasses & leftover food. Time to go. Apparently, bussing the tables rates really low on the jobs-to-be-done scale.
With some breadth to the styles on offer and some cleaning up of no longer occupied tables, this could be a place to revisit. But right now, a firm no.

The fries and pretzels were amazing. The pizza has a nice crisp to it and a spicy red sauce that was delicious!

Love this place. Great beer. Great atmosphere. Delicious food. The Eugene Krabs pizza was amazing and the cheese pizza was great! They have indoor and outdoor seating. Kid friendly. They don't disappoint

Cool looking place. I'm sure it's nice in the summer outside. Beers were good. The person I was with and I got wraps. 14 and 15 bucks, damn. When mine came up, it had maybe a quarter of a chicken breast of meat. Came with chips and you had to upgrade to fries. The staff got me a new wrap when I asked if this was the normal amount of meat, so that was nice. Tbh though, it didn't taste good. My friends food was not what they were expecting.
Look, if you are not going to have wait staff, and I have to buss my own table and pick up my own food, don't charge me like it's a full service place.
3 stars for potential, but I cant recommend and probably won't be coming back for more than a beer.

Great way to spend a Friday evening. Tons of great beers to try out and the pizza was really amazing. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, some barcade games to play. Clean bathrooms. Really fun time!
