Really amazing meat and sausage selection. NOT FOR DINE IN I also grabbed a sandwich and a brat while there. Chopped Brisket Sandwich: Brisket was not all that smokey but was sauced perfectly. Not wet, not dry, but moist. Raw white onion added texture and was refreshing. A healthy supply of pickle chips also adorned the top of the brisket. I will enjoy again. The Brat; They had thee today, apparently they rotate. I had the Michigan asparagus and cheddar. I dressed it with a bit of sauerkraut, chopped white onion, and a jalapeno mustard that had a sweet note to it. The mustard was killer, I wanted to eat the whole bottle. Nice char to the brat, super moist and flavorful. I got two bags of chips with this and it was $15. read more

Believe the hype. Two words: steamship round. Perfectly cooked, topped with a horseradish dijon mayo and gobbled down with near obscene moaning from pleasure by yours truly. My husband's brisket was quite delish, although his devouring was done without the porn soundtrack as he has more self control. Eat in or take out but grab one of the delicious sandwiches here. I personally had to eat something (anything) in because the smell in here is irresistable. If you are a true carnivore it triggers the Pavlovian drool response and requires that you shovel in meat products stat. If you are vegan this place will probably repulse you. It's ok though, more meat for me. The hot & sweet Italian sausages were great even when I cooked them up myself. The corned beef jerky is amazing, just the most perfect jerky ever. Jerky paté is a food oxymoron but somehow comes together in a harmonious match. I have to return for that damn sriracha smoked lamb sausage (have you ever heard a more beautiful set of words?) and a bizarre caribou, cocoa, chili and dried cherry combo sausage that somehow fired up every.single.one of my damn tastebuds. I have a thing for sausages the way that most of the planet has for bacon. Not that I don't love bacon but sausage is just so much more creative and flavorful. Every cuisine has a special version I can dive into and lose my heart to, it is an ever evolving exploration of taste. Here I have tapped into a place where I am sure to find ever more to delight even my demanding sausage needs. Thank you Biercamp for being so close to home for a sausage fanatic. Now grow, expand and make all my faves at the exact date and time I want them. If you love meat, not holding hand and going steady type love but a fiery passionate crazed need type love, you must run (do not walk) to Biercamp. You want Biercamp. You need Biercamp. read more

Love this place! I went to town when I went here and stocked up! Please do not judge. 1. Get the cheddar hot dogs. They are soooo packed with cheesy and the casing is nice and crisp. Real cheese...nothing like what you buy in the grocery store. I think about them all the time. 2. The beef jerky pate is super good to smear on crackers.....if you are lucky it will not be sold out. 3. Great Jerky!!! Beef, Corned Beef, BBQ, Sirracha, Turkey, Chicken....all good and super meaty. It's like a steak you can carry around. Quality cuts of meats. I want to try the new ones...Cider Bourbon Glaze Chicken Jerky -Honey-Dijon Chicken Jerky -MI Raspberry Preserve Chicken Jerky 4. Tried the brat with swiss cheese and ale....just soso....good but did not rock my world. Esp. when I saw someone eat the corridor sausage swiss bacon brat and had strings of cheese coming out of his mouth at Tashmoo this summer. Wonder how the new curry lamb sausage is.... Tons of samples...you can sample pretty much anything. Ring bolgna, country bacon, jerky, sauasage....They are SOOO nice they will let you try anything and want you to. Want to try the pea meal bacon and their pulled pork and brisket sandwiches. Sometimes they have fried bologna sandwiches and chili. Get this, the owner gave me a free sleeve of saltines so I could dive right in to my purchases once I got home. How ubersweet. Follow them on fb! Oh and a found a sweet fossil in the parking lot. read more

Some businesses thrive by word of mouth. At Biercamp, the nose is the organ that keeps the cash register singing. As soon as you open the door you step into an olfactory carnival of spices, herbs, and the smoke of fragrant woods (and more recently the bready funk of fermenting barley). A whiff of that makes me want to grab one of everything, fire up my grill, and eat sausage until my body mass consists largely of pork and paprika. As you can tell, I'm a sausage lover, so there's no way I could live in this town and not end up at Biercamp eventually. And in a few years of shopping there, I've had nothing that would make me question returning. Traditional varieties of sausage like bratwurst, kielbasa, and italian are there, but so are unique offerings like vidalia/cheddar brats, lamb kielbasa, mushroom/gouda brats, and several chorizos representing the styles of different parts of Latin America. One offering new to me was danish sausage, a kielbasa-like sausage with more "sweet" spicing (think pumpkin pie spice). While the sausages are good, and a few are outstanding (kielbasa, danish, Dirty Swiss Bastard brats, their unique, richly flavored hot dogs come to mind, along with all of their smoked sausages), many aren't wildly better than, or in some cases even as good as, similar ones that other local markets sell for less (Expect to pay at least $10/lb for Biercamp sausage). Biercamp's italian sausage is good, but not much better than what my neighborhood grocery makes in-house for half the price. Their chorizos are a little bland. Their Hillbilly breakfast sausage takes a back seat to some of the stuff you buy in plastic sleeves, not to mention some available from vendors at the Ann Arbor farmers' market (again, for considerably less). On the other side of the store, in the bacon and jerky coolers, is where Biercamp really shines in my opinion, and where I will surrender my hard-earned cash without hesitation. Their Country bacon has become the standard by which I judge all others, and all others I've had before or since suffer by comparison. It's well smoked, but not so much it covers the rich pork flavor that, once you experience it, you never want to end. Of course, their Berkshire and applewood bacons are great too, as is the pancetta, the duck bacon, the duck pastrami, the regular pastrami...you get the picture. My favorite jerky is the herbs de provence bacon jerky, but picking up a package of that is a tough decision when the others-from a basic beef jerky to sriracha turkey jerky--are also good enough to make me swoon. And whatever else you buy, pick up a tub of the spicy ale pickles. Put 'em on a burger or brat, assuming you don't eat every one of them straight from the container (guilty as charged). The ale in those pickles is house made of course. Biercamp has brewed beer for a while now and I haven't tried all their selections, but I do enjoy the rich, malty IPA and their wheat beer. You may or may not want to make Biercamp your sole source of things smoked and cured, but you could find yourself sorely tempted. read more

Myself and a few people from work decided to check out the place out of curiosity and on recommendation from a team member. The place sits right off of state street and is hard to miss if you are not looking for it. It is a specialty place specifically for sausage and jerky. Entering is it setup like a deli. There are a variety of jerky's and sausages to choose from. You can get pulled in with all the interesting selections they display. There are also sandwiches to try, primarily Pulled pork and Brisket. I opted for the brisket sandwich which was tasty and fresh. I pride myself on trying different things and being open so I also grabbed some various jerky's to try later as I could not resist. Overall this is an interesting place. I plan on returning to try out some other selections. read more

Wow! Amazing place that I would love to have in Northern CA. Great beer brewed in house and amazing sausages and barbecued meats . I went here three times in less than 24 hours. It was that good! First stop was with my niece for a quick beer. Second stop was with the niece and my wife for lunch before the Michigan football game. I had the classic bratwurst ($6)My wife had the brisket sandwich which was spectacular ($8.99). My niece is vegetarian so we were worried that she wouldn't have any options . Not true. They make great tasting bratwurst with veggies. Really tasty stuff. They are also a high end butcher shop that sells jerky, bacon and some wild game meats. I cannot wait to come back here in the spring. read more

My family and I lived in Ann Arbor for 10 years and just moved a year and a half ago. Every time we come back home, we have places we must visit that we truly miss and Biercamp is one of them. It's located in an old house next to Produce Station on State St. There is limited parking and it can get very busy inside (because it's so good), so plan accordingly. They have picnic tables outside if you decide to eat there as well. We have never stayed, and opt to take our deliciousness home. Everything they have in their case and on their menu is smoked in house. All other items are either their own, or locally sourced. I cannot tell you how amazing the food is. Their smoked corned beef is smoked and cured to perfection and my kids and my husband and I are obsessed with their Smoke sticks. The BBQ is sweeter, the Hickory is smokey, but without the artificial liquid smoke flavor and you can taste the creaminess of the Jalapeño and Cheddar smoke sticks. They also come in Teriyaki and Habanero. Did I mention they brew their own beer too? We are now off to go back to our new home in Reno, NV, but we had to make one last stop before we left to Biercamp to bring some smokesticks to eat on the plane! We heart Biercamp, and you will too! read more

Don't tell my boyfriend, but he has to share that special place in my heart now. With Biercamp. I am just... so happy. To have found this place. To know that it exists. It brings me inner peace. It's a vegetarian's nightmare, but meat lovers rejoice! The pulled pork sandwich is as life-changing as everyone says. It comes with a side of pickle slices & onions, which add a nice, refreshing crunch (and they count as a serving of vegetables for the day, right? ... right?). It is enough food for you not to feel disgusting afterwards, but you probably won't look so pretty. Good thing you get napkins. Prices were not as terrifyingly high as I had feared--$7.99/lb of brats, and I got 6 of the French onion variety for $10.63. They have a nice assortment of drinks (Faygo, ginger beer, etc.) for around $2 a pop. And the owners are so sweet and helpful. Seriously, I think I'm in love. read more

I ordered 1lb of beef brisket that was outstanding. Barbeque sauce was also, but it was not needed as the brisket was so good. I also bought red skin potato salad that was great. The chili dog was awesome as well. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. I can't wait to return and try something different. read more

We love this place. The seating is great outside, and the food is delicious. This has been recommended on the Ann Arbor Reddit page and everyone's saying the same thing- we are glad you own the space next door as there's many places to sit now read more

This place is CHEAP and serves delicious artisan sausages! I have been ridicoiucsly pleased both times visiting this joint! Everyday there is a different homemade sausage of the day and once they cut you a fresh piece, they offer you fresh sauerkraut, onions, ketchup, mustard, etc. Oh by the way.. the potato salad and banana pudding is fantastic!! I am drooling while writing this review! Great picnic bench outdoor seating. Spacing is a bit limited so claim your spot first! read more

The 16 hour pulled pork sandwich lives up to all the hype. A mix of succulent juicy fatty and crispy pork set off by homemade sweet brine pickles and onion atop fluffy buns. So good it makes you want to cry or laugh or both. Delirium in a bun. Okay at 7.99 you kinda expect chips and a drink to be involved here. But honestly I would come back again and again for that stupidly delicious sandwich. The joint they run is all about the high end customers who can afford their diverse range of artisanal meats. It's not really catered around dine in customers. Case in point, the seating area is off to the side of the massive fridge displays. It's a small bartop that runs the length of a window case with five stools underneath. Seriously. I guess during the warmer seasons they roll out picnic tables, but honestly it's really a grab and go kinda place. read more

Finally came here after reading all of the great reviews and I must tell you this place is just great. Is the place the size of a living room (yes), is the food here a bit pricey (yes), however it is well worth the experience taste. Who doesn't like the idea of having a really good craft beer while going sausage shopping. You can do just that here at biercamp. I probably took home 5 different sausage links (from hot Italian to kielbasa to Colombian chorizo, which all were excellent by the way) and 3 meat sticks (loved the hickory and habanero but not so much the jalapeño and cheese) and that cost me almost $30 but well worth it. With saying all of that I haven't even got into the cooked sausages and sandwiches which is by far the star there. This is simple, the pulled pork sandwich is the best I have ever had (and I don't even like pulled park but there's is great), and ditto for the bbq beef brisket sandwich (they only serve it on Friday and Saturday but that boy is so legitimately great that it should become a daily thing. Also the selection of sausages they have here is great (cost from $5-$6). From sriracha bratwurst to jalapeño to landjager to about 10 other choices you can't go wrong with a good sausage (with onions and sauerkraut and mustard of course) from here. After all this, just come. read more

A great "roadside stand" and a hidden gem of Ann Arbor. They sell meats, but if you stop by at lunchtime can select from a solid spread of sandwich and bratwurst options. Never had anything that tastes bad from this place, and would highly recommend giving it a try! read more

Best pulled pork sammich in Ann Arbor? 16hr backwoods pulled pork is perfect. Comes with slaw, pickles, and some mustard on a perfectly squishy white sesame seed bun. I think it was $7.99. The sausage, jerky, and other meats are all pretty pricy, but all very good. It's all local, made in-house, yada yada. You will find smoked fish, whitefish pâté, bacon, wild game, various other meats and meat accompaniments. The beer is usually solid. Usually four of their own brews on tap. They've done some good German styles when I've been in, and they definitely keep up with the season. Nothing amazing, but solid for washing down some wurst or a pulled pork. read more

This place is amazing! Local ownership. The very best smoked food in the world! Ok - maybe an exaggeration - but this couple is a hidden gem - I have purchased many items since their opening but now they have smoked bacon and lobster pate! smoked trout!! Smoked everything! You need to try this place - the food is crazy good!! read more

Terrible don't even consider it. Waited for over an hour for hotdogs that were cold, shriveled and the place is filthy

Underwhelmed! I really wanted to love this place after reading so many stellar Yelp reviews, but my boyfriend and I were not blown away by our experience. We ordered the 12-hr smoked brisket sandwich, asparagus and cheese brat ($6!!!), and the chili cheese tater tots for lunch one weekend. While they were all okay, they were simply just that - okay. The smoked brisket was a little chewy (we had expected it to be soft), and it was simply just a bunch of meat on a bun. The chili cheese tater tots seemed like something we could have made at home in our own oven. And $6 for a brat in a bun seemed like way too much. For the price, we were not impressed. Maybe next time we'll come in and buy some of their meats to take home and grill ourselves... read more

A wonderful little market/beer garden full of many of my favorite things: sausage, pickles, smoked meats, and more. How did I miss this place for years? That's what I get for having only vegetarian friends in AA. read more

one of the few restaurants in downtown ann arbor which is both: 1.) actually good and 2.) underrated it's bar food done very well -- the brisket sandwich, andouille, and chili are my go-to's but i honestly don't think there's much room for you to go wrong on a menu level i've only had good experiences with service here -- the employees have a very laid-back vibe but are super friendly, open to questions, and quickly get the job done cons: they close too early (even pre-covid) and i've had some "just ok" experiences -- the pickled stuff is generally way too acidic and i've had some like overly greasy orders -- but overall would definitely vet this place read more

Hi here! I am still thinking about the thick cut bacon 2 months later. It was nice to order and sit out at a picnic table while the weather was nice. Took home lots of goodies to Chicago like amazing jerky and fun sausages. read more

I was a huge fan of the former Hot Doug's (and current Hot 'G' Dog) in Chicago, so friends thought I'd like this place. It was ok, a little bit of a letdown after all the hype. Decent sausages, but there wasn't the nice combination of flavors with cheeses/toppings/sauces like Hot Doug's had. It's definitely a better market to buy sausages than an Encased Meat restaurant. read more

Incredible flavor in this good. The bbq sandwiches were delicious. The brisket melts in your mouth. The brats were so fresh and juicy. Amazing options and good portions for a good price! read more

You'll walk into this place, and be greeted by wonderful smells of different meats. The building size is just right for a place like this. It's small, but not too small that you feel crammed. I used to just get their meat sticks. There are a wide variety, ranging from teriyaki to habanero, all of which are highly recommended. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. One day, I saw that they had "chili cheese tater tots" along with a shredded pork sandwich. I had to get it. The tater tots were so delicious; the chili complimented the tots nicely, and there was some flavoring on it... I can't place my finger on what it is, but you've got to try it. The sandwich was quite possibly the best thing I've gotten from them. The barbecue sauce...the pork... you need to try it for yourself. I can't put it in words. I absolutely love this place, and I think you will, too. read more

The "Backwoods" pulled pork sandwich is literally the best thing ever. It is packed full of quality ingredients with well-trimmed meat. I have tried little else from here but this sandwich alone makes Biercamp deserve 5 stars. Bravo. read more

The wheat beer was good and refreshing. I have eaten a lot of BBQ, the presentation and size was spot on for a pulled pork sandwich. However, the pulled pork was dry and tasted like it was a day old. Still ate the sandwich but not impressed. If asked if I would return or recommend, may answer is no. read more

I'd really like to give this place 5 stars, 6 if I could. 7.99 for a "16hr pulled pork sandwich" sounds really good. Until you receive it and you realize that you just bought an $8 slider. It's a great slider, but don't call it a sandwich. The pickles are also amazzzzzing. However, again, the price.. ouch. The service is usually pretty slow and the staff are kind of arrogant/snotty. That, paired with the prices, makes it pretty typical for a trendy Ann Arbor place. read more

Great food... my only problem is they give you paper straws with a very thick milkshake. It's almost impossible to drink the shake with this type of straw because it keeps folding on itself and not letting air/the shake through. The milkshake tastes amazing, but I've been drinking it for an hour and haven't been able to even finish a third of it due to the straw. If you plan on ordering a milkshake from here, you should bring your own straw! read more

Very friendly staff. We enjoyed the outdoor seating with a beer. Got some sausages and perigees to go. Will come back for food.

With their location, you wouldn't expect to find a place like this. Food cannot be beat. Homemade root beer on tap, best brats you'll find anywhere. Specialty meats and cheeses are pricey but worth the price! read more

I've tried a lot of pulled pork and brisket in my travels, and this place goes into the Pantheon of All-Time Greats! Bonuses: 1. The owners/operators are so friendly it's embarrassing. Terrific people! 2. The price point is very good. 3. There's a small eat-in bar if you don't take out, and a nice selection of beverages by the can/bottle. 4. The atmosphere is warm, clean, and replete with character and conversation pieces. 5. Samples to taste! (Caution: If you try, you might buy.) Drawback: Biercamp is located only two blocks from my girlfriend's apartment, and I buy two sandwiches for me and one for her every time I visit. I expect we'll be obese before the wedding bells ring, if that day is meant to be. read more
