5 Best Craft Breweries near Alden

“The staff is always friendly and the food is the best from the BBQ pulled pork egg rolls to the pizza and burgers. If you do the breakfast .The breakfast burrito with chorizo with Hollandaise sauce is off the hook sooo good. And don't forget a side of Cajun bacon.“

“I've been to Short's several times, but there was always a decent wait to get seated. Most of the time, we tucked our tails and went to another place in Bellaire or just got our food to go. Every time, we at least got a beer in the bar area adjoining the restaurant. The wait is real, but last night we waited it out and it was most definitely worth it. If a restaurant (and brew pub!) is that busy everytime you go then you know they're doing a lot of things right. The beer is arguably the best in a crowded scene of fantastic Michigan-based craft breweries. Endless selection of regular and seasonal beers and ciders... but the food is just as good. We got the Falling Out pizza and it might just be one of the best - if not the best - pizza I've ever had. Insanely tasty with pulled pork, bacon mixed in with BBQ sauce, jalapenos and maple sriracha. It has pineapple too. Don't let that bother you. The mix of heat, meat and sweet with the beer infused pizza crust will have me coming back for more the next time we bolt up to Schuss.“

“Amazing how it has grown. Yet, as one of their biggest supporters in the past 20 years I no longer enjoy their beer. They joined the bandwagon on cans only. The only one that benefits from can only is the investor in my opinion. I do enjoy filling my growler on occasion.“

“Good Food and Great Beer selection!! I had a personal pizza 12", all of the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The crust was thin and not over done, a hard thing to accomplish with a thin crust. Great job !! Keep up the Great Work !!“
