5 Best Craft Breweries near South Lyon

“A South Lyon staple that only gets better with time!

This is a a long overdue review in the making, so here goes…

I’ve been a patron at Witch’s Hat Brewing Company since their humble beginnings in the original, quaint location, and it has been an absolute joy watching them grow and expand over the years. It’s been great to be part of that journey. Like any business of this nature, it does come with sad moments, like seeing some long time staff move on, but that also opens the door for new comers.

I feel they offer one of the best mug club experiences ever, a real value. I appreciate that they still offer growlers and howlers for fill ups, in addition to canning.

The beer is—and has always been—fantastic, consistently offering incredible brews across the board. While I sometimes miss the nostalgic days of food trucks and bring-your-own food, adding their full kitchen six years ago was a fantastic move. Their current food menu is delicious and pairs perfectly with their beer! If beer isn’t your thing, or you just haven’t found your style, they offer a great selection of other beverages as well. Truly something for everyone.

Beyond the food and drinks, what truly makes Witch’s Hat special is their mission and deep commitment to the local community. I love volunteering at their events and seeing firsthand how much heart and care they pour into everything they do. If you haven’t been to “Fury for a Feast”, you should definitely attend. Enjoy live music and all they have to offer, while supporting local nonprofit organizations in the process.

Whether you've been coming here for a decade or are visiting for the first time, Witch’s Hat is hands-down one of the best spots around. Highly recommended! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐“

“Dropped in for a drink and had a great chat with the bartenders. We tried a Amber Ale and a coffee—both were fantastic! Brewery Becker offers a cozy German bar vibe with a fantastic patio, making it a great spot to meet up with friends and enjoy a snack. We’ll definitely be back! — James, Green Lantern Pizza (Brighton)“
