Greyline Brewing Company

Michigan


Greyline is a bit of an outlier, about 3 miles northwest of downtown, but it’s worth the trip. Set in a squat grey building at the edge of an industrial zone, the unassuming tap room has a smattering of long wood tables and stools. Beer buffs toss back the caramel Mosacca IPA, crisp Fruitopia and 14 other brews on tap.

Build-your-own flights are available; most 4.5oz samples cost between $2 and $3. The kitchen serves tacos, sandwiches and pretzels with beer cheese.
