DETROIT VICINITY, MICHIGAN
Across from Traffic Jam & Snug in same downtown area, cozy MOTOR CITY BREWING WORKS draws the cool underground rock crowd (visited August ’04). Strong 10% alcohol maraschino cherry-sweet juniper-embittered Strong Ale and quince-apricot-soured Courvosier-like Amber Wheat show resplendent craftsmanship. Earthy Ghettoblaster, buttery maple-cola Nut Brown Ale, soft orange-fizzed wheat-backed Pale Ale, and soapy malt-soured mash tun-wafted Lager brought variety.
