Hey , it ’s a tough chore , but somebody had to do it . It ’s much easier to suss out the hot fresh smear when they ’re conveniently serving in one position for the weekend . We regain some modern brewers with unique recipes and some quondam - schooltime newcomers doing things the way our German father did it best .

For the festival , it pull out the Ladies ’ Nut Buster , a super - peanutty afters brown that ’s not too overwhelm . The beer was also develop and brewed only by the woman who take the cutting edge at Dearborn Brewing . You ’ll only find this one on rap in limited quantity , so you ’ll have to plan a sojourn to the brewery ’s taproom sooner than afterwards .

Ascension Brewing CompanyMy Strong Hand Child

Barrel - mature Belgian ale , 14.1 % ABVNoviAscension had a rocky start last fall after its July opening : It ran out of beer for several weeks . But that was due to off - the - charts requirement , and it ’s more than made up for that since . beer at the Novi ginmill course the gamut from a sweet cherry blonde ale to the Sabo Smash double IPA . We tried the super - substantial My Strong Hand Child , a Woodford Rye bbl - aged Belgian ale , and the combination of the rye ’s high temperature and the Belgian smoothness was the perfect warmup .

Draught HorseChocolate Peanut Butter Stout

Stout , 7 % ABVLyon TownshipIf you ’re heading to the bar , go for the 3 ’s Comp Belgian Trippel , which was solidly sweet and malty without the acrimony that sometimes come at the tail close of a trippel with that much dynamism ( it ’s 9.3 % ABV ) . We also like the Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout , with very strong peanut butter notes and a chocolaty , velvet taste . And you ’ll have to await until spring for its rerelease , but the 6.7 % ABV Campfire Maple Brown , which is lighter than you ’d expect from the description of " brown and mapley , " was a must - have at the festival .

Brooks BrewingFalling For Autumn

Specialty beer , 5.1 % ABVShelby TownshipThe Brooks ’ family ’s passion projection offers an interesting take on the conundrum of what to get and how much to order : Each beer is $ 6 , and the only deviation is the sizing of the pour depending on the quality of each beer – for instance , the ABV . So , for example , you could seek the fall for Autumn , made with Michigan apples and maple syrup , or the frighteningly key Burn Permit Chocolate Chili Pepper Double Stout ( do n’t vex , it ’s less scary than it sounds ) , both aptly made for the approaching deep pall .

Northern Oak BreweryGot Bock

bock beer , 6.5 % ABVHollyIn a ocean of hop madness and barrel - of age bric-a-brac , Northern Oak decided to reduce on a beer way that is notoriously difficult to get correct . Bocks and lagers fill out the German - with child peculiarity at this Downtown Holly brewery that ’s been open since September 2015 . That focus has paid off : Last year ’s Doppel Bock win the Gold Medal at Frankenmuth ’s World Expo of Beers . We test the Got Bock : a inflexible , smooth - drinking received bock , and a nice change from the bombardment of porters presented at the festival .

Drafting TableMorning Hator Doppelbock

Doppelbock , 7.7 % ABVWixomA brewery must be doing something right if its festival specialty run out within an minute . We missed out on the Tequila elderly Mango Gose ( blaspheme on you , Eastern Market parking ! ) , but gayly settle down for the Morning Hator Doppelbock , with hefty note of hazelnut and knock coffee . If you ’re compulsive to get your custody on the Mango Gose Tango , you could check it out in the Drafting Table ’s barroom and atFarmington Brewing Company ’s taproom ; it ’s a collaboration between the two brewery .

Transient Brewing Pineapple Salarium Farmhouse Gose

Gose , 4 % ABVBridgemanOK , we screw a little ( a lot ) . This one is well remote metro Detroit , but if you ’re ever in want of a great beer on your way to Chicago , Transient is a must - stop . It open in May of 2016 and has been knocking it out of the park since . We tried three beers from them , evenly delicious if totally different in visibility . The Pineapple Salarium Farmhouse Gose was a damn - good - arrant gose , and the Imperial Peach Maigre Sour Wheat had a great symmetry of crispiness and complexness . And the Henry Porter was everything a porter should be , plus a whopping 7.5 % ABV .
