Jolly Pumpkin's brewery taproom now open

It's very nice. They have on tap the all the one-off Jolly Pumpkin beers that have been around in the past six months or so.

 

Wow, business must be really good for them right now...

 

Classy looking place!

 

Wow, judging by those pictures on MLive, that place looks incredible. They could serve nothing but Coors Light and I'd still want to go just to hang out in that taproom.

 

woah.............

 

This tap room looks awesome, can't wait to visit.

 

Was cruising home after lunch on Saturday only to have my 18-month old fall asleep. We've never had much luck transitioning him from car to crib after he falls asleep like that so I mentioned to the wife "you know, if were going to be driving around for a while I hear that Jolly Pumpkin finally opened a tap room...". Next thing you know he is waking up and were pulling in to the tap room parking lot so props go to my boy for helping me put together a nice, unexpected, Saturday afternoon.

Place is so damn nice on the inside, i was honestly taken back when I first stepped in. Huge semi-circle booths down one wall, shuffleboard in the back, additional tables/seating areas scattered about with a big C-shaped bar in the middle and a merch/bottles to-go area up front. Different menu boards hanging above the bar list the Jolly Pumpkin & North Peak offerings (booze and wine too) with prices for flight-pours, half-pours, full-pours and growlers.

I took down 3 samples (cherry hibiscus, rambic, roja du kriek) and a full-pour of Lupulo de Hielo and thought everything was very fairly priced. I'll definitely be back.

 

Dropped by there today on my way back to Toronto.
Probably one of the best brewpubs i've been to. Up there with Cascade, but nicer looking.

They tapped out of Rambic last night after closing. Fuuuuuuuu.....

had everything else (via the flights/samplers). brought a howler back home with me.
loved Lupulo de Hielo. loved the rhubarb-dandilion beer.
that place is a MUST if you're heading through Michigan.

the two unfortunate things?
1. the lack of real food
2. we were the only people in the bar. it's week #2 and the Lions were playing at we left at noon (another couple came in to take a look). with time, i hope, it will be hot shit.
