“Have long known of their products but this was my first time to their location. I wasn't disappointed. They have a large menu of beverages, many made on site. Their staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of to go and souvenir items. Outdoor seating, occasional food trucks, and some snacks available inside. They even have theme nights for comedy or karaoke. Will definitely go again.“

“Go for brunch, get a coffee, some food, relax, browse the internet, play board games, etc. Plenty of variety. A quirky , fun, experimental, artistic vibe atmosphere, unique for a Cafe/Brewery“

“Last night we had Charise as our server. She was the bomb!! Great personality, knowledgeable on food. beer & spirits. I ordered half an order of plain chicken wings! Holy cow they were a full wing and huge! They were awesome. They had a little dry rub on them. Sauce on the side. We were on the 2nd floor. Very quaint and had a pool table. I highly recommend this place. It was my 1st time there. I'll be going back!“

“Fantastic people and beer, great atmosphere. Go get you some!“

“Went down the day of the parade. Bus dropped us off close to the brewery so this was our first stop. It was so yummy this was also our last stop before getting back on bus! Even our friends who are not beer drinkers enjoyed them for sure. The Beach Bus is my favorite! Can't wait to go back“

“great beers, great staff, all in all a wonderful time!“

“Highly recommend the Dark Heathen Triple Bock . Very well made delicious beer.“

“Brewery Faisan is a pretty cool place. It’s located in a renovated industrial type of building, and the space across the street is all green space now. It’s like a little island in a somewhat worn down area. The interior is very comfortable with plenty of tables and a bar, and the atmosphere is relaxed with lots of light wood tones. There is some outdoor seating too, but the inside sounded better on my visit. Their beer selection had something for all palates, and I tried a little bit of their tripel and their Italian pils. Both were good and had no off flavors, so I was happy with the beer. I bought several cans to go, and I was thrilled to find out you can buy singles, so it’s easy to sample a lot. The King Eider Belgian dubbel was my favorite so far, and it’s a very drinkable version of that style. You should definitely give this brewery a try if you’re able to.“

“Fantastic beer coming out of the east side of the state! Watch out west side breweries. Great beer selection wirh brews that a consistent and varied. The IPAs are tasty and hoppy while the porters are robust and warming in the cooler months. Big, big fan of Elephant Juice and Sweater Weather - this combination covers my whole year. The brewery is a nice space, funky and welcoming. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable, can't go wrong here.“

“we have been stopping in for drinks for a while now before we go to concerts and the theater.. we love your bartender, we love our drinks and the pizza to boot! we love sitting at the back of the bar and sometimes on the couch playing a few games!“

“Great pizza and great beer!“

“Enjoyed a beer flight to get acquainted with their selection and style. Normally I don't gravitate towards lagers but their Fly Life was something special. Great staff, Monique was friendly and knowledgeable. Huge patio - worth a visit if youre in Corktown“

“The SE MI Brewery Discovery Tour's latest stop is right here in Hamster Track. No, Ham Truck. Hampertrick? Hammer Time? It's what? Really? You're sure?
Hamtramck!!! (My sarcasm streak is as wide as Lake Huron today).
I'm really learning to ❤️ Hamtramck. The food alone should bring you here regularly. And now there is a brewery, too. 🎉🎊🥳
First, ignore the apparent pay-to-park situation, it's just to confuse people. And on its way out. No cost, in other words.
The beers are sessionable. For those who aren't hopheads (or malt-minded) that means under 6% ABV. So you have several without being too concerned about having to get an Uber home. Just pace yourself like an adult and you should be fine. Assuming you know your limits.
Lower alcohol does not mean low flavor, though.
I came specifically for the Garnet lager, a hard-to-find Czech style. I was not disappointed. Tasty, refreshing, smooth & only 5.5%.
My second was another hard-to-find style from the Czech Republic 🇨🇿 (I know, they changed it to Czechia. Sounds like Chechnia & I'm not using it.), Midwest Leisure. 5.3%.
Followed it with a hand-pulled oyster stout called Pocket Full of Shells. No, it doesn't taste like pureed oysters (🤢). Only 5.3%, as well.
The staff were super friendly. The digs are open, inviting, with light colored wood, exposed brick and ductwork.
The Wolverines game was on when I visited (Go BLUE!) but the volume was off so as to not distract from conversations or the music. Watch it if you need to follow. (I recorded it).
After a few hours reading & conversing, I headed out, looking forward to the styles to come with the change of seasons.
Baltic Porter in January, anyone?“

“I have been to this brewery a handful of times and the beers just keep getting better and better. They have a full line up; lighter options, IPA’s, stouts, sours, etc. Every time I go, they have something better than the last time. Yesterday, I visited the brewery and I am in a straight leg brace and crutches after having knee surgery. James, the bartender, was very courteous and helpful, even going as far as bringing me over an extra padded chair to elevate my leg on without me asking. It’s hard to find great service like that anymore. I highly recommend this brewery to anyone.“

“We came to Detriot to see the NCAA D1 National wrestling tournament. We stopped in and had a great time. The beer, food, and environment were wonderful and we give them 5 stars. Look forward to coming back. Mechanicsburg PA folks“

“When I am at Sundried Tomato Bistro my choice of beer on tap is from Walkerville Brewery. As good as any craft beer I have ever tasted. #supportlocal ... Randy Russon, Hockey News Windsor.“

“It is a very nice place to have a few beers and nice people 😉“

“Not only is the food great, but the service is amazing! Jess always goes above and beyond to make sure im always happy! I recommend the 1529 IPA as well! Happy hour is awesome!“

“Always consistently good beer, food, and service. We stop in whenever we're in town.“

“Another stop of the journey to find the best Americano in metro Detroit. The Bev was wonderful! I ordered an Americano with a splash of oat milk. The service was phenomenal, with such nice and friendly baristas. The Americano itself was very good, mild and smooth in flavor. The atmosphere of the shop is calm and welcoming. Their lattes look so good and the baked goods also look super amazing. I can't wait to come back.“

“Silly me!
I just found this Happy Hour M-F 2-5:30
We got here 3:15 on a Thursday, totally chill, parked right out front.
Great spot for half day hookie. Nooner or sooner. ))
We had: bloody mary's, the burger is excellant, salmon dip is very tasty, the fried pickles are spears & lightly breaded. Moving on to the spicy margarita & ranch water.
The patio seating in the afternoon is shaded by the building.
I'll be back.“

“This is a fun eatery that is truly surprising. After a nice walk on the Detroit riverfront, head on up a couple of blocks to this gem. Craft cocktails, amazing burgers, tangy cauliflower bites, tots arcade, and add some cornhole competition to top off a great afternoon.“

“On my visit back to the ROB, I was looking forward to my Go To dish of Beef Stroganoff, only to find out it's no longer on the menu. What a bumper. So instead, I had the Shepard's Pie which was very delicious. Our server was Erin M. She did an excellent job of watching over and serving our needs as required. I request that she be acknowledged by higher authority for a job well done. Today's visit to the ROB was again a pleasant experience. Bring back the Beef Stroganoff and you will probably see me more. I need my Stroggy Fix. :)“

“My father and I went in today for the 5 year celebration and our server Tajma was amazing. She knew the beers like the back of her hand and we had a great conversation about local breweries and beers we are huge fans of! Keep up the great work. Also the wings were phenomenal honey sirracha delicious, and the platter had so much amazing stuff we had to take a lot home! We will be back.“

“Our family did Taco Tuesday and it was great. Wonderful service by Jeff the bartender and all seven of us were very pleased. Tried 4 of the taco choices and all were very tasty! Will be back for sure.“
