Bière de Mac Brew Works

Michigan


A welcome addition to the local drinking scene, Bière de Mac has around 11 house-made brews on tap, from French farmhouse ales to milk stouts, Belgian blonde ales and wheat beers. It all goes down just fine with the global-influenced pub grub, like Moroccan roasted vegetables or barbecue chicken poutine.

Be sure to check out the beer taps, which look like a certain bridge in the area.
