Erratic Ale has a laid-back and welcoming environment that definitely makes it a place you'd want to return to. While the beer was just okay – nothing particularly blew me away – it was perfectly enjoyable for an afternoon with friends.
We actually grabbed some pizza from next door and brought it over, which worked out great. We spent a couple of hours there, chatting and enjoying the casual atmosphere. It's the kind of spot where you can easily relax and have a good time without any pretension.
So, while the beer might not be the main draw for me, the comfortable and friendly environment makes Erratic Ale a solid choice for a casual get-together with friends. I'd definitely go back for the ambiance and the easygoing vibe.

The drinks were decent, but outrageously overpriced. What really shocked me was the aggressively hostile customer service. I took one tiny sip of my boyfriend’s drink while my ID was in the car, and within seconds an employee stormed over like I had committed a crime. They spoke to me with such condescension and hostility, demanding I go get my ID in front of everyone, over the smallest sip. It felt less like a bar and more like being publicly humiliated by a power-tripping hall monitor. I’ve never been treated with that level of disrespect and unnecessary aggression. Completely ruined our night. Avoid this place at all costs if you value being treated like a human being.

Amazing little brewery off the border-to-border trail in the quaint town of Dexter, Mi. My first visit was with my daughter after going for a bike ride on the trail. The owner, Deb & Brian, are friendly and welcoming right when you walk in the door - greeted with a smile & a hello! The variety of beer choices are fresh and flavorful meeting many palates from sours, to stouts to ales & lagers. They have a small food menu that is delicious but if you are looking for a fuller meal, Raterman's Bistro, is right next door and you can bring your food over to the brewery while sipping on a crisp beer. They also have outdoor seating, live music on Thursdays AND trivia on Friday & Saturdays! I almost forgot to mention...they also have an espresso bar and serve lots of coffee options in the morning! This brewery is a GEM!!!

I dropped by Erratic just to pick up some beer to go, but it seemed like a nice place. The space was open and fairly bright, and the staff seemed nice. I brought home some of their dark lager, Günter, which was very nice and malty. I’d definitely like to stop by someday and spend more time.

Excellent beers and the food place next door is top notch. Family friendly as well.
These guys brew great sour beer! We got to visit on a pretty slow night and taste a few of their different draft selections. Bartenders were really nice and answered all of our questions... Really convenient to have the deli next door for anybody who wants a snack. Enjoyed the beer, cleanliness of the place and the staff.

Great pours! Tried the Saison, You Better you Brett (!!excellent!!), the one with the 7s, and Fold It In in the 3oz. Will be back to fill a growler. Super cool atmosphere.

Great place we stumbled upon because of Hop Passport. The Sordid Details was a great saison (very true to the style), the live music with Marsha and her talented harmonica player was lovely, staff was inviting and kind, very nice interior and quaint patio area- amazing vibes all around. Will be back!
Great coffee!
