I never noticed this place before, until I forced to the farside of the parking lot, attempting to go to the Produce Station. I popped in to check it out, since the smells of cured meat was taunting me. I wish I hadn't just had lunch! The two sandwich items of pork or brisket, on the chalk board, had to be the source of that amazing smell. Nice array of jerky, brats, and assortment of bacon. I will definitely be back for the goods. read more

Can't go wrong with biercamp on a nice warm day. The bratwursts are always delicious and have me coming back for more. They have a good char and are just perfect all round. Also a big fan of the brisket. However as a heads up there is not a lot of parking behind it and on nice days it can be pretty busy around lunch time. read more

I had a good time at Biercamp with a few friends. I've been a few times before, and I've always enjoyed myself, but this is the first time I had a chance to sit on the patio. I had a beer and sausage of the day. I've actually forgotten what it was, but it was delicious.Sort of what I expected. A great effort and a fantastic texture and overall flavor. I will come back here for more at some point! read more

My feeling is still that almost everything they do is incredible. I just want to add that they make veggie burgers that rival beef-burgers in quality. I'm a believer that burgers typically need a sauce unless the meat is particularly juicy. A dry burger isn't very enjoyable to eat. Whenever I eat one of Beircamp's veggie burgers, I use no sauce and no cheese. I eat just the burger on a bun, and it's one of the best burgers I've ever had. Unfortunately, I'm not too into their beer. They seem to have only one or two at a time, and one is almost always an IPA (I'm not a fan of IPAs). It's not bad beer, it's just not my style. I'd like to see them try making a stout. I'm moving away form Ann Arbor soon, and I think I'll miss Beircamp more than anything else in Ann Arbor (including Zingerman's, but partly because they do mail-order). On that note, if it wouldn't compromise the quality of the product, I think Beircamp should offer mail-order products. read more

I grew up in Frankenmuth, and since I moved down here I've been on the quest to find delicious sausage and sauerkraut. Mission accomplished! Biercamp is easy to find and has a small parking lot. They have a large variety of sausage and other meats. I ended up getting the garlic and roasted red pepper brats, traditional sauerkraut and something called Czech-style kraut, which is heavily seasoned with caraway and is full of country ham. I threw this all together in my crockpot and took it in for an office potluck. There wasn't one bit left. The only downside? I got 2 packs of brats and 2 containers of each kind of kraut, and it was a touch over $40. It was one expensive potluck dish, but I would totally splurge again for myself. read more

I accidentally stumbled into this establishment because the line at the Produce Station was too long. And boy oh boy was I a HAPPY CAMPER! The selection of meat is amazing- I try to buy my meat from locals farmers and Biercamp makes it easily accessible. Super excited to have this place in our neighborhood. Oh and the BBQ pulled pork sandwich is WONDERFUL! (only $4.99-- can't beat that) read more

Backwoods pork sandwich coupled with the Vienna IPA was straight money. Make your way here after walking University of Michigan. Small place but well worth your time. Robin was a friendly, knowledgeable and outstanding host. read more

Was very happy to find this after recently moving to Ann Arbor. Looking for home smoked jerky and artisanal sausages? Check. How about a stellar Pulled Pork sandwich with house made pickles? Check. I've been here twice in the last 10 days and will be going back again very soon. Very cool and friendly people and a laid back old school vibe. They had about 8 varieties of bratwurst and grilling sausages on sale and their cold case filled with hickory sticks and other assorted and exotic smoked treats is fantastic. Find it fast and tell your friends. read more

Biercamp - Awesome display case at Bier Camp... - Meat Shops Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

A friend of mine recommend my husband and I go to Biercamp for a quick lunch. When we arrived the shop was very small. Just a few meat coolers and a small bar like counter to eat at with only 3 chairs. We ended up ordering the beef brisket and pulled pork sandwich. We ate at the small counter and I must say it was great. Flavor was wonderful! As we were leaving they had some new samples out to try. I didn't try due to the fact that I was stuffed but my hubby grabbed a few more bites. He said it just as tasty as our lunch was. We will be back to try some more meats. Take it home for grilling. Someone did recommend to us that if you are planning to go during football season get there early! I guess they sell out due to tailgating:) read more

I came here for lunch and ordered the brisket sandwich. I thought it was pretty dry and the bun was a little stale. My friend ordered the pulled pork sandwich which was a bit better. I did think it was a cool place, though. I bought hot italian sausage to cook at home which was delicious. All in all, decent sandwiches, good meats and jerky, cool atmosphere. read more

IMO the best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had. Good beer, too. Everything here is awesome. I want to live here.

Very good pulled pork, and delicious, interesting beer. This place would be perfect at later hours, especially the outdoor space. So sad they close at 7. read more

My all time favorite place in the area for smoked meats. Very good beer as well. This has been my favorite spot for a couple years now to stop in, grab some meat, and cook it at home. Their in-house sandwiches and brats are also very good (along with having good bread - a luxury skipped by many other places) read more

We had an excellent experience today at Biercamp. Kevin truly made the difference, he was superb. He was attentive and welcoming and his kindness throughout our visit made me feel like we were visiting a friend for lunch. We are from out of state but have dear friends in Ann Arbor, I know we'll work to stop over and see Kevin the next time we are in town. Thank you! The food and beer were delicious and you, sir, were truly superb! read more

Highly recommend! Never have had a bad experience here, food is always consistent and delicious. Even as take out, its quality once you get home. read more

Decent brisket sandwich. Big portion. We just moved from Texas so are picky brisket people. Did not meet (no pun intended) that expectation but good flavor. Would be nice to have a larger outdoor eating area with protection from the wind. Maybe this is in the works. read more

Stopped in for my first time and surely not my last. I engulfed a pulled-pork sandwich and washed it down with a hickory-smoked jerky. Mmmm! I loved the way the place was layed out. It has a nice rustic feel inside. Also had an incredible selection of refrigerated meats. Halloween decorations were up--that was cool. The owner, James, was a friendly fellow! Pleasure to talk to. read more

Amazing food all around. Sandwiches are great for lunch and they will deconstruct the sandwich so the bun doesn't get soggy. They have amazing customer service. All their prepackaged food is good too. Love the loaded potato sausages. read more

My husband and I frequented their neighbor business weekly. One day on a whim we stopped in. Wow. It's been a year of trying their entire menu. It is so delicious. I understand they are artisans making their food from scratch but, $6 for a brat on a bun is a little overkill. I pay it bc I don't have a choice lol I need my fix. I do love the option to buy my fav brats and take them home. Also try their dips!! The pickles are so delicious. Definitely try the pickles. The coleslaw read more

The price is outrageous and the food might not be so fresh. I ordered the sloppy joe and I suffered food poisoning for the rest of the day. Will not come back. read more

Had an awesome experience at Biercamp. The green chili queso brat was excellent. My daughter liked the jalapeño smoked sausage which was very spicy. We also shared the loaded tots. The tots were super crispy which was a nice contrast to all of the toppings. I also enjoyed the double IPA. My daughter also enjoyed the root beer. read more

Biercamp - Meat Shops Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

See all

I had read this place was good, but it had to be hands down one of my best meals ever. I can count on one hand when I have left a place and thought, "Wow! That was just fantastic food and amazing." This was one of those times. It's a special place and I shall return.... read more

When I moved to Michigan, I wanted an authentic Michigan and Midwestern experience. I wanted to eat like the people ate. Pasties, Brats, Good Beer. Right? In the thick of summer these are traditional eats, but before walking into this place, I had never had many ANY of these things. It just wasn't something we ate. I was told that this needed to change IMMEDIATELY and so it was suggested that I stop by Biercamp. I didn't live too far away at the time, just a few blocks down State and if you blink twice past the light, you can almost miss it. I managed to make my way into their assigned parking area, it is narrow and you can easily end up looking like a customer for the autobody shop behind Biercamp. I swung back around the corner and walked into to find this tiny shop with some picnic tables just outside and bar type seating with a view of the road. Wide-eyed and bushy-tailed I walked in not knowing to expect, so I decided first to give him heaping colorful looking sausages a once over first. It was a rainbow of beautiful colors packed into (dareIsay) pretty links full of green, yellows, reds and whites and immediately I realized that these sausages were filled with my absolute favorite things, Ham and Cheese and blueberries and thyme and I wanted them all, but I controlled myself. I decided first on their Dirty Swiss filled with an ale and Swiss cheese and a Blueberry-Maple Syrup breakfast sausage. All the things that I loved about breakfast, typically on or in my french toast or pancakes, was packed into a breakfast sausage. Every two weeks or so, while I lived close of course, I made it a point to go in and treat myself to their delicious meaty concoctions. I was usually set back about 25-30 bucks after getting two or three packs of different sausages. I have yet to try anything else, the courage hasn't been with me, but I know the second I pipe up and ask someone will eagerly assist me. There's always a kind face there as I marvel at my purchases. If you eat meat and truly love it and find yourself within Ann Arbor's vicinity, make a bee-line. This place makes every season a perfect time to have a Brat. read more

Hands down best beef brisket sandwich i've ever had in Michigan. Love coming here everything they sell has been amazing.

I go here for the raw sausage. They have all sorts of delicious and decadent combinations. I love their spicy ones with cheese, oozing with flavorful grease. I have to try their bbq, but it's looks tasty. COOKING TIP: 325 F in oven for 15 min, turn once, then char on grill or skillet for 3-4 min each side. read more

this place is a gem. easy to accidentally miss. My husband and I have lived in michigan for a long time now and never stepped in until last year. It's a meat lover and beer lover dream. everything we've ordered on the menu is delicious. Can't go wrong with anything here. I'm salivating thinking about the brats. read more

I've been eagerly anticipating this opening, and so far it's looking very promising. They are in their second week of business, and my husband and I snuck in today immediately after the doors opened. Right now Biercamp has a small mix of traditional and unusual jerky options (couldn't resist picking up the Salsa Lizano chicken jerky for my dad; also saw Sriracha, corned beef, and one with a Korean sauce that escapes me right now). There is also a selection of hot sticks -- we got the Habanero (delicious flavor, with just the right amount of heat) and Teriyaki (sweet -- not as much depth of flavor, but we're biased towards spicy). We also picked up some of the beef hotdogs; I love good natural-casing hotdogs and can't wait to try these. They also have hotdogs with cheese, which, as a Wisconsin girl, I approve of heartily. We got to sample a jerky spread with cream cheese which was absolutely delicious -- definitely have to pick up some of that next time. In addition to the refrigerator cases there is a small freezer with an assortment of sausages and more hot dogs. The proprietress was super-helpful and friendly (in fact, since we debated so long over our choice of hot sticks she tucked the second flavor into our bag while we were checking out). Since it is early they don't yet have their aged sausages available, but we will definitely be back for the grand opening to check out their full range of offerings. It will also be great to see what beers they bring in to complement their cured meats once the licensing is taken care of. On top of all that, they're conveniently located right next to the Produce Station, so you can pick up sausages for the grill and all the fixings for a light salad and get a perfect summer dinner in one stop. Welcome to Ann Arbor, Biercamp! edited to add: Just grilled the beef hot dogs and had them for dinner -- delicious! They have a perfect smoky/sweet//beefy flavor and exactly the right amount of snap. Will definitely be getting more of these! read more

We drove 50 miles each way to try this place today and were well rewarded with excellent products and pleasant service. The jerky and snack sticks are very,very good. The tavern cheese is excellent with a little twist with the bacon and scallions. The jerky pate with cherries sounds weird but is pretty tasty. The IPA is on point and the growlers are stylish. Still have the bacon and fresh sausage to try. My advice is to give them a try. We will be back there for sure. read more

I just moved to A2 from Boston and I was really mourning the loss of my old artisan meat shop. But, no more! Biercamp has filled that void with their impressive (and scandalously tasty) meat selection. I stocked up on a few varieties of beef jerky and sausages-- the tandoori lamb hotdogs are beyond words. My partner and I also tried their sandwiches. The pulled pork sandwich really knocked my socks off, and at $4.99 it's an incredible value. So much FLAVOR!!! After the first bite, I just wanted to slow clap. Well played, Biercamp. Well played. read more

Like everyone else I have nothing but praise to heap on Biercamp. I have had the hot dogs, several sausages, and 5 jerkys and all of them were amazing. The hickory smoked bacon and andouille sausage are my new faves! The jerky pate was delicious as are the pickles and sauerkraut. Haven't tried the sandwiches yet, but that's next! I love the interior and the owners are really nice people. It makes me really happy to support them and the prices are really reasonable for what you get. read more

Everything in this place is fantastic. I recognize that the prices are a bit high, but the quality is very high; as a value, this place is still solid. They only sell a few prepared food items. There's usually two of pulled pork sandwiches, brisket, and some other kind of meat-heaven I can't remember now. The brisket is pretty good, but the pulled pork is outrageous. At $5 for a massive sandwich, it's not a bad deal either. Their selection of raw and smoked meats is even more impressive. Their bacons are all very good, as are the jerkies, but the beef sticks are the best in my view. They also sell a lot of bratwurst. They almost always hit the mark--the gouda and mushroom ones fall a bit flat, but the rest are spectacular--and are pretty inventive in their flavor combinations. And while I generally try not to review too much based on service...wow. Their service is always--seriously, 100% of the time--out of this world. I've never seen an employee working the counter--just the two owners. They're very warm, knowledgeable, and generous with samples. No sale is too small for them; whether I'm just swinging by for a beef stick or picking up sandwiches for 5 and some jerky pate, they've been fantastic. They deserve all of the success it seems like this place is having. One cautionary note: they don't take Amex. That's about the worst thing I can say about this place. read more

I use the beef brisket sandwich as the benchmark to compare barbecue joints and Biercamp does not disappoint. Their brisket was exquisite. They obviously start with high-quality meat and turn it into a tender, smoky delight that is also quite lean by barbecue joint standards. The bun was average and, most importantly, the sauce needs work...it's rather bland. I'm not suggesting a mop that would overpower the beef, just something a little more interesting. Next time I'm going to have them hold the sauce and apply some from my stash that I get from Ron's on Pontiac Trail. read more

Small beer list but you can't go wrong. Great owners and delicious food. Don't miss the backwoods tots. I blindly chose the lamb Swiss brat (so many yummy options to choose from) since the combo was different and was pleasantly surprised it worked well. read more

Wow, meat heaven. The people that run this place are super nice. They were sold out of the beef brisket and only had one sandwich of the pulled pork when I arrived which was late on a football Sat. Pulled pork was phenomenal. Jerky flavors galore, samples, meatballs, meat and cheese. Things are made on site. You know when people do things because they love it and then they turn it into a business. Well this might be that. read more

This place is strong. Biercamp jerky, not cherry salsa or Zingerman's whatever-it-is, is now my signature "Ann Arbor Gift" when I go to visit friends and relatives in far-away places. The stuff is authentic, tasty, local, and of high quality -- which is representative of the A2 I know and love. read more

We stopped here because of the rave reviews. We got the brisket sandwich, it was terrible. The meat was so dry that it was almost crunchy. The sandwich was so small it was barely an appetizer. We also got a growler of beer that was barely drinkable. read more

Biercamp is a great spot for delicious smoked meats and beer. Casual and quaint with excellent and informed staff. I had a smoked brisket sandwich that was killer! Slaw and potato salad were full of flavor and nOt too mayoinassey. We are not from AA so it was a destinationn lunch spot. We can't waIT to go back! read more

Best pulled pork sandwich I ever had, period. And at only $5, it's a steal!. Try it with a Faygo Cream Soda and you will be happy, happy. I also brought home the corned beef jerky and jalopeno/cheddar hot dogs. This place was great, everyone was friendly - a true Ann Arbor gem! read more

Always excellent - have been several times and they have many different types of smoked meats & charcuterie on every visit. Their jerky pate is excellent (sounds gross, but super good!) I drive out of my way to go there to get meats/sausages for special occasions - worth the drive! read more

Wow can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. Excellent jerky - habanero the best in my opinion. Pulled pork sandwiches so good, with awesome onions in particular. House-made beer really really good. All in all, a must-try in AA if you like no frills meat. read more
