10 Best Craft Breweries near Saline

“It’s the definition of “hidden gem.” I have been before, but tonight we went to a concert there and it was the best thing I have done in a long time. They don’t have food, so I ordered carry out from somewhere else and picked it up on the way, but we ate there and Stony Lake’s beer is top shelf. The band went on at 8 and, again, it was spectacular. FWIW, we saw Hey Mavis.If you enjoy quality beer and quality music, there is no where better in southeast Michigan than Stony Lake Brewery. We’re lucky to have this in Saline.“

“We went for dinner on a Friday night in April. We got a parallel parking space right out front. They are building a large pergola and outside beer garden that will fit like 70 people. We didn't have reservations and had to wait only 10 minutes to be seated. We enjoyed looking at the beer decor and merch while we waited. The brewery is in a renovated church. They kept the gorgeous stained glass and decorative wood trim. We sat upstairs, which presumably was a choir loft or organ room. There were only about 5 tables in the room. It was hot and they opened a window, which felt great. We ordered 2 flights. Our favorite beers were the Cashmere Zeppelin and the Salt Patty's Nitro Stout. We ordered the pub steak with pesto and gruyere cheese and the pulled pork sandwich. My husband said the park was great. My steak was very good and perfectly done, but the potatoes and asparagus were a little dry. For dessert we got the skillet cookie a la mode with caramel pieces. It was AMAZING! I highly recommend this place. It has the secret sauce of awesome ambiance, good beer and good food. And they told me the brewmaster is a woman and I just love that.“

“Absolutely amazing restaurant and brewery. Food is amazing and the bbq and brisket is excellent. Service attentive and friendly. Ambiance is comfortable either outside at picnic tables or by the fire, or in their house next door turned into dining area. They have a tasty selection of their own craft beer as well. They also have a general store where they sell all sorts of meats made in house, as well as jarred foods such as pickles, salsas, etc. This is a must visit. You will not go away hungry.“

“Overall, great beer. Lost 1 star for the bar seating. Hate to do that, but this has to be the most uncomfortable seating ever. Stools are tiny, my legs are going numb. Fine, but what is worse the bar itself has zero knee room. So, sit up close and do the splits, or sit far back and reach. Really needs a re-do. Also the acustic panels on the ceiling are too small...super loud in here. Product is high quality though. Prompt service.“

“Super chill atmosphere with great tunes. Love the layout and outside seating option. Solid variety of beers, the Crumple was wonderful. Bulgogi fries can be split with someone, at the half size. For $10 it was worth it, delicious, and satiating. Merch is available and they have a membership available.“

“In the area and was looking for a local Brewery/ bar food experience. We totally loved our evening setting at the bar talking to the locals. We felt like we was a parts of their group. Even though we are "Buckeye"!!! ?? thank you Ann Arbor friends ?? almost forgot "Great Brewery Food" ?“

“Enjoyed a stout & king cold brew (loved the hint of coffee!) Their new campus is beautiful. Great outdoor seating. Rotating food vendors. Fully stocked fridge in case you want to take some beer home. Would have loved a few more beer options, including a wheat beer.Looking forward to returning!“

“Decided to check out this unique spot today and was very pleasantly surprised with great food, fantastic brews, and a ver unique and enjoyable atmosphere! The 4 of us each ordered a different sandwich, and we all couldn’t stop commenting about how delicious our choice was. I had the Pastromi Sandwich- wow- absolutely delicious! I also recommend you enjoy a flight of 6 beers and enjoy their unique brews- my favorite was the 440 Pepper- a very unique and even fun taste- I had to buy another to bring home. ???❤️“

“I do not drink alcohol so cannot comment on that, but my friends seemed to enjoy their drinks especially their beers.I had the eat your grains salad and it was amazing. So tasty and textured. Caesar salad and pretzels were good as well. Beer battered fries were absolutely delicious too. Food portions are pretty good for the price too.Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian options on the menu and it’s marked properly.“

“The food is delicious (truffle fries are a must) and the beer is amazing (if sour beers are your thing). On top of that they also distill their own liquor and the Thai Boxer is my favorite cocktail in Ann Arbor. Yum!Update: Still delicious! Vegan options!“
