“always get my wine here friendly and knowledable very helpful“

“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 😉“

“The Coffee infused Porter, with beans from Campoñeros Coffee is great! Campoñeros just opened a coffee place in Amherstburg. It would be great to have one of their delicious empanadas AND a SBC Coffee Porter there. Maybe one day!“

“Had a great experience at Frank Brewery. We sat on the patio and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The smash burger was excellent, and the pencil fries were a fun side that tasted absolutely delicious. The beet salad was fantastic—fresh, flavorful, and a great side dish option. Everyone at our table raved about how tasty the salad was. Service was good -seems like the servers were helping on another which was nice to see- and everything arrived as expected. Overall, a very enjoyable experience, and I'd happily come back again.“

“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“

“Enthusiasms and labors of love do not always, alas, translate to success. Fortunately, in the case of Sameday, it does! There are no bad beers here. There aren't even any mediocre, fill-in-the-menu beers. I'm not a big lagers fan, but the Someday lagers are well worth the pint, as are the Czech style pilsner. And then there are the IPA's, which are fantastic; and the stouts, a pleasant oatmeal stout or a no holds barred Midnight. The meads are just as excellent. (Except for the Sunday Afternoon, which you don't want to try, because that will leave more for me. Seriously. Try the April First.) No food. No distractions. Just beer (and mead) done very excellently well.“

“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?“

“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 comradery, easy pace, post ride socializing at the brewery.“

“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!“

“Menu items mostly Beers and Food selection not it's main Emphasis. Wide selection of micro brews in a smaller Brewery atmosphere best to see Buildings preservation how older Church can function differently as a Historical Tourism location.“

“BEST FOOD Ever for Downriver's Best Brewery. Outstanding selection of Brews!! Ate there constantly since they opened in Nov 2019. Food is DEEEEELICIOUS! 3 Awesome Brewers/Owners, 5 Outstanding Waitresses, and 2 Superb Cooks. Their constant smiles are catchy for all to view!! Just a wonderful & comfortable place to visit and relax at. And you can play Domino’s there too! Always Enjoy.“

“Total hidden gem, by the Detroit Riverwalk. You have to try their house made vodka Bloody Mary Spicy....it's FIRE! An eclectic beer line up that has something for everyone! A must visit if you are in in Detroit and want a true brewery, and great bar food!“
