    One of my favorite breweries to go to because of the expansive beer selection (I love the guava sour) and Joyride Kitchen making Detroit style pizzas in the space! The vibe is the perfect amount of laidback and cozy. There is always plenty of seating indoors and on benches outside. This will always be my go to brewery whenever I want to grab a beer!

    Guava sour beer
    Yarn Y.

    A really cute brewery w nice atmosphere . I tried the guava sour beer which was really nice - refreshing and had a unique flavor (4/5$ and the Detroit style margarita which was just ok (3.5/5) - the dough was a bit too thick and a little too dry . They had some other interesting options in the menu which I jujitsu check out next time

    Plate

    Went here with a friend on Friday 2/20 around 4p. The place was nearly empty, except for a group of two couples and another couple off to the side. It's definitely a no frills place and the service is nil. The woman working was less than welcoming or helpful. You order your beer and food at a counter upon entry and then given a buzzer to alert you that your food is ready so you can go pick it up along with your plastic utensils. We ordered a a couple of beers and the $20 Chimichurri Steak Sandwich with Arugula on an Acme French roll, (note, it's not a roll, it's a baguette), and the $15 Garden Salad with arugula, spinach, candied walnuts, goat cheese, apples, Meyer lemon, olive oil and fig balsamic vinaigrette. When we went to pick up our food we were more than a little taken aback by the tiny plate the sandwich and salad were served on (see small square plate in the photo, which is smaller than a 8" paper plate). The sandwich measured between 6-7" and was cut in half and the baguette is maybe 2" wide for $20. So we each got a 3.5"x 2" piece of sandwich. The salad was just a skimpy for $15 bucks. I wish I had remembered to take photo before we ate the sandwich and salad, but we were hungry. I realize inflation has driven up prices but this was ridiculous. The amount of food was barely enough for a 8-10 year-old child, if that. So maybe you're wondering if there are any positives to highlight? The answer is yes! The sandwich and salad were delicious. Just not delicious enough for $35 price tag. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the utensils are compostable and you don't have to bus your dishes!

    Great service and exceptional patio, right next door to 924 and very close to good transit.

    Gluten free pizza

    I originally went to Gilman Brewing for the Whimsey Market event they had going on and decided to order some food and a drink. I got a hemp hibiscus cider (bottled, not on tap) and a gluten free pizza and it was delicious. I've never seen a gluten free deep dish pizza and I was so impressed. It tasted great, but I didn't like that it cost me $50 I think it was all the add ons such as gluten free crust, vegan cheese, chicken, and pineapple. Something to note was that the service was beyond amazing. The guy that worked at the counter was super thorough and really wanted to make sure I got my order correct and even checked if a certain sauce was gluten free. I wish I got his name, he deserves a raise or promotion or something! Also, something to note is both the outside and inside areas are super cute and a great place for a casual hang out. Overall, I really enjoyed the Whimsey Market event and really enjoyed the vibe/food.

    Stopped at 3 breweries before finding the right one :-). What a great spot - it's huge with a great staff and a huge variety of beers on draft. We got the Sweet Pear Pineapple Pizza. Pizza is Detroit style - very, very good! 5/24/24 update: such a sweet spot to stop at on our way home. Just beer this visit. Good vibe. Delicious scents (pizzas). New menu! Thoroughly enjoy this spot.

    Nice place to grab a brew and a bite. Easy access and parking is not a problem during the day.

    I came here for the brews and fell in love with the pizza! I promise my judgement was not compromised after 3-4 beers (who's counting anyways). But for reals, the best deep dish I've had in a while, much better than those guys that make square pies. Come for the brews and stay for the pizza, sit inside or outside. Do it however you like it. Hidden gem you won't want to miss

    Great place for beer flights as they have a wide range of selections. We came here on Friday for lunch and there was plenty of indoor seating, outdoor seating, and seats facing the sidewalk if you want to people watch. What puts this place over the top for me is Joyride Pizza. They make square Detroit style pies which remind me of pan pizzas except with a ton of extra cheese on the edge which makes a cheesy crisp with the crust. Freaking amazing!
