Eastern Market Brewing Co

Detroit


This former meat-packing plant turned beer hall is right smack in the midst of mural-clad Eastern Market. Neighborhood folks of all ages hang out at the picnic tables downing juicy New England–style IPAs, wheat beers and stouts made in the silver tanks humming in back. It’s BYOF (bring your own food).
