DETROIT VICINITY, MICHIGAN
Heading westward from Detroit to Ferndale, roadhouse-styled pub, WOODWARD AVENUE BREWERY, served a hip young crowd and had neat license plate menus at its brick-walled wood-floored upstairs bar August ‘04.
Rangy brew selection included unique licorice-Schnapps Custom Porter; spritzy Belgian-styled spearmint-clove-banana-influenced Wittekerke; sweet vanilla-chocolate-malted Vanilla Porter; buttery banana-clove Hefe-Weizen; dry-spiced Cascade-hopped Pale Ale; mild chocolate-mocha-embittered Brown Ale; and tart strawberry seed-fronted wheat-backed Raspberry Blonde.
