    Bell's Expedition Stout
    Founders Imperial Stout
    Dark Horse's Holiday series (I think they're at Fore Smoked right now)
    There's plenty more but those stick out

    If you can still find it Bells Java Stout, it was absolutely great this year.

    Any stout that you can find from Bell's, Founders, Dark Horse, Arcadia, Saugatuck, Shorts, New Holland or Kuhnhenn (if you get lucky a find anything from them) will be a good one. (I probably missed naming a brewery that deserves to be mentioned, but for a stout from any other Michigan brewery, well, you're on your own. The breweries that I named are the ones that I usually limit my purchases to.

    You might be able to find something from Great Lakes, Founders & Bell's are a given. Holiday Market in Royal Oak isn't that far from Novi, but Meijer is everywhere and carries the basics of Michigan beer at a good price.

    There is a Holiday Market in Canton that has a great beer selection. If you are looking for a bar, check out Ashley's in Westland or Ann Arbor.

    Beer Baron in Livonia isn't too far. They have a great selection.

    I'd recommend Uptown Grille in Commerce Township as well. I've never been there but have heard good things about it. It's not that far from Novi area either. You can check out their tap list but me thinks it's out of date.
