Sherwood Brewing Company

The beers just keeps on coming!  Seriously a great place with amazing pizza (and other food too!).  The craft beer is not for those who want a Bud or a rum and coke.  I like to have a Production Line Red or a Hemp Ale.  You aren't getting these flavors at other bars.  The waitstaff is attentive and knowledgeable about the beer.  I like watching Tigers games there in the summer.  I don't go to the live music performances but I played trivia there for about two years on Tuesday nights and it was always a riot.

This place makes great beer and wonderful food. It really is a place for people who like good beer. If you want Miller lite or Budweiser, this is not a place for you. Many unique and fun flavors with a strong flavor and full body.

Poutine. Now I'm not a foodie, but I've had my fair share of the delectable Canadian delight. A Quebec native, poutine is simply fries with brown gravy and cheese, traditionally cheese curds. I've been to The Mac Shack, Tony's, and a few places in Canada, and none live up to the poutine served currently at The Sherwood Brewery. I have to admit that I was a bit excited when my girlfriend pointed out the morsel on the menu, but I was more excited when the taste hit my mouth. It was pure bliss. If you're at this fantastic brewery, poutine is the way to go to get you started. I hereby declare The Sherwood Brewing Company poutine the best poutine this side of the big ol' drink.

The Sherwood Brewery has been a local favorite for many years now. The one thing I have always loved is the excellent food with top-notch ingredients. The menu isn't large, but I guarantee that anything you order will be a stunner. Menu items will come and go, but rest assured that something just as good or better has taken its spot. While I do miss The Heartbreaker (ironic eh?) and a few other items, there is always something that catches my fancy.

And to whet your whistle? Don't expect to get a cheap beer, because The Sherwood serves anything but cheap. You'll get a high-class drink with loads of flavor, as well as the equally satisfying kick. Don't stop at beer though. The wine and meads are just as well some of the best I've ever had. Ask your server for a taste if you're curious, or get real happy-like with a sampler for you and yours. If alcohol isn't your thing, get one of their excellent in-house sodas.

While the place can get quite loud at night, I've just learned to come during the day anyway.  I highly recommend going anywhere from 11:30 to 3 from Monday to Saturday as this is when you'll find lunch specials and two dollar pints. It's a win-win for me personally. And if you find yourself at The Sherwood frequently, ask about a membership. You can go annual or lifetime. Members get special discounts on certain days as well as larger glasses of beer EVERYDAY! I've gotten the membership a few times before, and it certainly paid for itself, especially when getting a growler filled. If you're not familiar with breweries, yes you can order beer or wine to go, and yes you should get beer to go. Bring the jug back and get it filled again for less.
