My 400th Michigan brewery stop!!!! FOUR FUCKIN’ HUNDO 😍

These last 12 months have really put a stick in my spokes. I know slowing down my brewery travels is small potatos compared to what Michigan breweries have dealt with!

Just happy to have the doors back open.

Beers, miles on my car, and more beers. My three favorite things!

Niles Brewing Company, has 8 of their own beers with a couple guest taps. Michigan wines and cocktails.
With flights of four it was a perfect way to sample each beer. My taste buds would rate them in this order.

1) Super Haze; Galaxy 6.8%

2) Wonderland Cinn. Pecan Stout 8%

3) Blue Raspberry candy WOW 5%

4) Strawberry Kiwi WOW 5.75%

5) Super Haze; Citra 5.9%

6) 2nd Street IPA 6%

7) Fruit Punch WOW 5.25%

8) Peel's Pale Ale 6%

At full capacity there’s enough space for 49. So with the regulations we have now, 13 is all they can seat. So call ahead or head over to their page and schedule you appt. thru OpenTable. Make sure you have your seats reserved.

Looking forward to my next visit to Niles. SW Michigan is very underrated for creating a brew tour. Quite a few gems locally for your beer drinking needs.
