Local brews to buy your dad for Father’s Day 🍻

Hey gang,

Elizabeth here. Thanks for stopping by! This is ClickOnDetroit’s newest newsletter, Craft & Barrel, where I’ll be focusing on the importance of craft beverages in Michigan and the types of experiences drinkers can have.

Supporting local businesses, especially around a holiday, is very important to me and that’s why I created a list of beers you can pick up for your father figure this Father’s Day weekend.

I hope you and your dad have a lovely weekend.

Cheers! 🍻

Not sure what to get your dad for fathers day? Maybe a six-pack from his favorite local brewery.

Obviously, we all know that a premium dad beer can be satisfying, but perhaps treat your father figure to something local and with more flavor than a generic wheat beer.

Below are some local beers for you and your father figure to check out.

  • This IPA is a double dry-hopped double rice India Pale Ale (DDHRIPA). Four different hops are contributing to giving the beer aromatic fruitiness balance.

• Cloud 19 - Brew Detroit
  • One of Brew Detroit’s haziest beers that are brewed with Mosaic and Hallertau Blanc hops.

  • According to their website, the NEIPA delivers with a pillowy mouthfeel & subtle white wine finish.

STOUT/PORTER

• White Coffee Stout - Eastern Market Brewing Co.

  • According to Eastern Market Brewing Co.’s website, there are impressions of sweet white mocha and cocoa.
