Final Gravity Brewing Co.

 

 

Small place in a small Michigan town. Limited food menu, but the wings were above average.

The beer selection was not too large, 6 or 7 if memory serves. I stuck with the IPA which was pretty good. My wife had a cherry cider which was good, but very sweet.

We sat at the bar rail, and the service was friendly.

Worthwhile, but probably not worth going too far out of your way for.

 

 

My wife and I stopped here on a Sunday afternoon to try their beers and to have a late lunch. The pub was not busy when we arrived, but as time passed the place filled up. This brewpub was formerly Patchwork Brewing, which we had previously visited once, but with new owners/brewers now in place we wanted to see what changes had occurred. It turns out that minimal differences exist from the old physical building and interior, although the décor had something of a different look to eliminate the ‘patchwork’ theme, and a beer garden now takes up some of the side parking lot.

There were only 5 beers on tap, so we ordered a sampler flight of them. I don’t know the brewing experience level of the new owners/brewers, but for a new line-up of beers, they seem to have the beer-making process under control. We liked all of the beers, and scored them from a C score up to a B grade in our scoring system. Each was brewed right to style, and most of them were above average. The BBA Sour Brown Ale was our favorite. The Cherry Wheat was the C score, primarily because we could not detect any cherry flavor, but it was still a nice light-flavored beer.

The food menu is probably different from the Patchwork offering, but food menus always change over time. There seemed to be more selections, but the focus is still on pizzas and deli sandwiches. (The chicken wings are very tasty.)

It is only a 6-mile drive off of the interstate to visit this brewpub, and the quality of the beer and food are well worth the short trip.
