30 Best Craft Breweries near Ferndale

“Good beer, good food truck! “Simply Spanish!”“

“Love at first sight! This is a bright, colorful cafe and brewery. Went here for a coffee, but ended up having an early lunch and a sour. I’m not a beer drinker but loved how helpful the bartenders were in sharing some recommendations for food and drink. Several beers & sours on tap and “fresh” canned drinks.” Ordered a beer, sour, the watermelon salad and spicy chicken sandwich with the best seasoned fries I’ve ever had. The salad was sweet and savory with roasted chickpeas; the chicken sandwich had a perfect spice and crisp to it.

I can see visiting by self, with friends or family. Lots of seating areas inside with a small play area, and outdoor areas on patio (covered and open).“

“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!“

“Went here for karaoke on Saturday and had THE BEST time! The meade was delicious, the other guests were kind and everyone was having fun, and I came by myself so the owner got up and sang a song with me! It was so much fun and I can’t wait to bring friends with me next time.“

“Great pizza and great beer!“

“The lavender beer was enjoyable, with a light, refreshing taste perfect for those who prefer milder drinks. I loved the subtle lavender flavor, which added a unique twist without being overpowering. Unfortunately, the $5 pretzel was a bit disappointing. It was on the harder and bland side even with the seasoning and only came with a spicy mustard, with no option for cheese, which would have been a nice addition. Not worth the price. The atmosphere, however, was warm and inviting, with plenty of board games to enjoy - perfect for a relaxed outing.“

“Great beer selection, a relaxed vibe, and plenty of board games to enjoy. I also appreciated that they had the football games on, adding to the cozy atmosphere. If you like a sweeter beer, I’d definitely recommend the Flannel Weather (not the one pictured). Perfect spot for a laid-back evening.“

“Kuhnhenn is an absolute must for beer/mead lovers! Big variety of styles! They didn't have what I came for- Solstice Stout! Not even a bottle :/ but I know it's a labor of love and takes years sometimes! Great bartenders, great pop-up, and even trivia night the last time I came! Cool merch, too - I bought a T-shirt for a beer that I didn't even try haha ? ?“

“I love Batch! Of course the beer is good but in addition to that the sandwiches are always amazing, and it’s always a great vibe whether you’re outside or inside. Plus they’ve got trivia, food pop ups, and so many other events and activities“

“Stopped by for beer and pizza. Great selection of brews. The Detroit style pizza was great. Lots of space spread out. Highly recommend.“

“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“

“Great beers, great brewer, great pricing, great environment! Will most certainly be back soon!“

“Cool new Brewery in town; hands-down, I love the branding, and I bought 2 shirts on 1st visit. Excellent staff and decent beer. I was happy that d&p$b have a big barrel aged beer(Barley wine to be exact) but beg that a big BA Stout appears in the fall. I was alil underwhelmed by the offerings flavor, quality idunno. The beer wasn't a 5- everything else was. Look forward to coming back and expecting them to dial things in! ?“

“Fantastic selection of swag and beers! Very informative display cases on the history of their beer.“

“The place is great. Beers & food“

“The beer was top notch, we had the Belgian dark. The bartender was also very personable and knowledgeable of the beers.“

“Great ownership! Expecting great things from this brewery!“

“We got to have a tour, beer/cheese pairing, and hangout in the game room for pizza, pretzel bites and salad for an auction item we won. Mallory took great care of our group. Beer tasting was the overall favorite part of our experience. Will will go back as parking is convenient, and when the weather is a bit warmer the outdoor seating looks inviting.“

“We are regulars at Cadillac Straits. It’s family friendly, the beer is always good, the menu is small but the food is delicious. Plus the staff is awesome! We love Ean!“

“Spent the evening chatting with Jason about lots of topics. Great beer, great vibe. Looking forward to visiting their new location.“

“The 4 different beers that we tried were delicious, our server was kind, helpful and attentive. We will definitely return to try the food!“

“Came here to eat after the Detroit Half Marathon. Snagged two seats at the bar so we could be in and out. Grabbed a beer. Had the Oktoberfest. I ordered the Creole Chicken pasta. My friend got the burger with sweet potato fries.

I was more than pleased with my pasta entree. The bread was good as well. I was hungry and put it all away, but any ordinary meal, I would have had leftovers.

Service at the bar was attentive and we could sample a couple of beers before settling on one. Had the football game on at the bar.

Limited seating, but it was a cozy environment.“

“A colleague of mine and I, both regularly frequent Brew Detroit and thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere, happened to stop in tonight and were excited to discover it was Trivia Night. We had never attended Trivia Night at Brew Detroit before, and while we were eager to join in, we were unfamiliar with the particular app being used to participate. My friend, in particular, had no prior experience with how trivia games of this kind operate. As the first question came up, she, in her excitement and misunderstanding of the rules, called out half of the answer aloud. We quickly shushed her, and she apologized immediately, fully understanding her mistake. Despite her quick acknowledgment and apology, Chris, the trivia host, decided to use this opportunity to not only curse at her but to berate her in front of the entire room. This level of unprofessionalism and outright hostility was shocking and entirely uncalled for. To reiterate, my friend did not even manage to finish her answer before realizing her error and apologizing. Chris, however, saw fit to curse at us, both directly and to the audience, creating an uncomfortable and humiliating experience for us and others who witnessed this behavior. This behavior is unacceptable for someone representing your establishment. I strongly urge you to take immediate action to ensure that Chris is not allowed to host any further events at Brew Detroit. His inability to control his temper and his major lack of professionalism are detrimental not only to your brand but also to the welcoming and enjoyable environment we have come to associate with Brew Detroit.“

“On Oct. 19, I ordered the Shoreline Shrimp & Scampi
Plump sea scallops & tender jumbo shrimp simmered in a luscious lemon & caper cream w/ grape tomatoes. Served w/ crispy red skin potatoes, fresh vegetables and grilled garlicky toast rounds.

I ordered this entree with linguini noodles. The shrimp and scallops were great!

The cream was bland and there was no luscious lemon, caper cream. The cream was loose and I did not taste any lemon or capers (almost nonexistent and tasteless) which generally adds a nice flavor to food. Also, I did not get any grilled garlicky toast rounds.

I have ordered this entree several times before and it was DELICIOUS. I even encouraged my friend to order it and she was disappointed as well.

I will return to Lilly's because overall the food is really good. I just hope the next time I order this entree, the flavor truly fits the description and I get my garlicky toast rounds. P.S. Seth our waiter was GREAT!!!!“

“We recently had a road rally and this was one of our stops. The owner is awesome and didn't mind the traffic. We had coffees and snacks while there and have stopped in for ice cream and shakes in the past. There are tons of beer selections and cozy seating to hang out.“

“I do not understand why this place wasn’t PACKED for Sunday Brunch! The Brunch menu isn’t large, but I still had trouble deciding! Was ecstatic about my choice. Lindsey, our server, was very friendly and outgoing! This place is fantastic. Once the word gets out, we’re all going to be waiting in a line to get in!“

“The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with a great blend of rustic charm and modern vibes. The staff were super friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed.

The food was absolutely fantastic! We tried a couple of their signature pizzas, and they were bursting with flavor—perfectly crisp crust with fresh, unique toppings. Their beers were equally impressive, especially their artisan sour ales. You can really taste the care and craftsmanship that goes into every brew.“

“Revamped menu with some of the old hits, and the staff does a great job.

A few years ago - I remember this place being ok pub food that was always a sure-fire spot to have open tables on weekend nights.

Now this place is poppin’ and once you sit down, you’ll understand why.

Kid-friendliness: place is casual with low tops and wood chairs - great for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: lots of low tops across the dining floor, ramp in the back leads up to the bathrooms and the outdoor patio area out back“

“So not only was the food good the drinks were great but the service we were provided by the sever( Lakisha Shepherd) was excellent friendly and very welcoming she went beyond and back to make sure our first visit was amazing and it definitely won’t be our last thanks again Mrs. Shepherd ( Granite City food & Brewery“
