10 Best Breweries in Windsor

"Batch Brewing Company’s taproom Corktown taproom serves not only beer but also Michigan pub-style food with a global twist—like jerk-chicken pasties or fried German-style potatoes—with some Vietnamese, Mexican, Greek, and Thai dishes thrown in. Co-founders Jason Williams and Stephen Roginson left corporate jobs to follow their dream, opening the brewery in 2015 after a successful crowdfunding campaign. Around 18 beers are on tap, from a farmhouse ale to the Dicksmasher Stout."

"Relatively new on the scene, the Batch Brewing Company has quickly amassed a large following since it debuted as Detroit’s first nano-brewery. Located in Corktown, it’s produced such weird and wonderful brews as the That’s the Way She Gose, Eh?. and the Unrequited Belgian Strong Golden Ale."

"Soak up the sunshine while drinking a cold one at Batch Brewing Company. Complete with umbrellas for shade, the patio is the perfect place to indulge in small-batch artisan beers and tasty eats. Don’t sleep on the soft-baked pretzel!"

"If you prefer your craft beer served with pizza and on a patio, Motor City Brewing Works is for you. Motor City serves as a bridge between what some locals refer to as “Old Detroit” and “New Detroit,” bringing new transplants and long-time Detroiters together to enjoy hand-crafted beers. The city’s oldest operating brewery, Motor City Brewing is as serious about its creative, meticulously-crafted beers as it is about its community."

"Visit the Tap Room to try out Motor City Brewing Works‘ latest craft beers and have a brick oven pizza, soup, salad or appetizer. This list will only get you started with excellent restaurant choices in downtown Detroit. Explore more options with insider information from our Detroit Restaurant Guide."

"With three Michigan locations—Grand Rapids, the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe Park, and a 1919 factory warehouse in Detroit’s Rivertown neighborhood—Atwater Brewery’s roots are in Detroit. Beer offerings are diverse, from grapefruit flavors in the Going Steady IPA to Pumpkin Spice Latte Ale. You can even take a tour of the Detroit location on Saturdays at 2 p.m."

"Atwater Brewery & Tap House which opened in 1997 in Detroit’s historic Rivertown district, is a craft brewery and tap house. The first mass-produced beer was bottled in the Detroit area in 1848, igniting a passion for beer. Despite the fact that Detroit is renowned as the Motor City, Michigan once had the most output breweries in the country."

"Taste the best craft beers as you enjoy the views of Detroit at Atwater Brewery. The bar features high-top tables that create a wonderful environment for chit-chatting with friends or family. The mood inside sets you for a time that you’ll remember."

"Located in the year-round Eastern Market, this brewery is in perfect pitch with the country’s largest historic public-market district. When co-founder Dayne Bartscht moved back to Michigan from England, he lured in some beer-loving friends to open the brewery in 2017. Many beers fold in local ingredients, including Final Harvest, which has 100 pounds of squash from a local farm, and a beer called Dees Bees Knees, including Detroit City Distillery spirits."

"Eastern Market Brewing Company and Detroit City Distillery took full advantage of expanded street seating options during the pandemic, shutting down large portions of Riopelle. The bars offer first-come, first-served socially distanced patio seating, making it easy to grab a beer or a boozey ice pop and sit outside. Folks can even grab food from Midnight Temple."

"Grab a brew, pick out a boardgame and get ready for some family fun in Eastern Market. At EMBC you can bring your own food or order from the Elephant Shack food truck. Amenities: Highchair/ you can bring in your own food"

"The Jolly Pumpkin brewery is actually an hour west of Detroit, but in the heart of Midtown is their pizzeria and bar, offering a range of house brews as well as seasonal offerings from other breweries. Since its founding in 2004, Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales (to give its full title) has been all about sour beer made authentically, so head here if you want a taste of Belgium without leaving the city.

"Ann Arbor’s own Jolly Pumpkin has expanded significantly in the past few years to outposts both in and around Detroit. The brewery stands out as one of the few places in the U.S. making traditionally barrel-aged sours. Additionally, Jolly Pumpkin’s Cass Corridor location is known for serving some really good pizzas and truffle fries."

"One of metro Detroit’s oldest and most celebrated microbreweries, Dragonmead serves a laundry list of beers in regional Belgian, American, German, Scottish, Russian, and English styles. At 10 percent alcohol by volume, the Final Absolution Belgian tripel packs a wallop, but is worth every sip. Dragonmead now features a location in St. Clair Shores in addition to its Warren outpost."

"BUT when the sun is out you gotta be outside regardless of the temperature. If it’s a little chilly out & you still want to soak some rays, Founder’s patio is the perfect spot because it has some awesome (and warm) fire pits (pic below). It’s a great spot any time of year, but we especially love hitting it on those days a little extra heat would be nice."

"This Eastern Market newcomer had the unfortunate timing of opening in the middle of 2020, when many beer drinkers were still huddling inside. The brewery specializes in Belgian-style beers with a small menu of Bavarian food. Indoor and patio seating are available in addition to carryout."

"Located in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn, Fair Lane is the former home of automaker Henry Ford and his wife Clara. The Fords settled into their new home in 1915 and lived there until their deaths in 1947 and 1950. The grounds of Fair Lane include a powerhouse hydropower plant, which gave the estate the independence to produce its own power, heat, and light."

"The home of famous automotive pioneer Henry Ford and his wife Clara both lived here from 1915 till 1950. It was built with 56 rooms of carved stone and wooden artworks. It also includes his own garage, his best collections of car, and a wonderful garden with waterscapes."

"If we’re talking about unique museums in Detroit, we can’t skip Fair Lane. It was the estate of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford and his wife, Clara Ford. It has been open for historic tours and events recently, but it’s periodically closed due to restoration work."
