I sweat ketchup!!!!! 





DRAGON'S MEAD!!!!! DEEP FRIED VENISON STICKS!!!! 'nough said.




Too much metal for one hand!!!! That is the way the night is going. We're at Atwater. Very open, very awesome. The cracks are beginning to appear. How much further can we go? We need to make it to Dragon Mead, or as it's known around here, the Dragon's Lair. Some of us are sampling the Voodoo Vator at Atwater. A noble brew, but still, for this author's money, the best so far was the Hop Grenade. Too good for a night like this. Status update... three warriors are replenishing their hydration levels. It will pay off in the long run. FORWARD!!!!!!!




Shit it's crowded! But we've seen worse. Two words though... Hop Grenade! The best the author has had so far. It's like an explosion of American Hop goodness in our mouth. And there goes the people mover. Nice location... for Detroit. Feeling more epic, but less willing to type epic. So trust me. Next stop Atwater. 






We stepped into the realm of Motor City Brewing, and lo and behold, a locked network. No real time updates for us. They have a very strict policy on tabs and identification. The pizza station looks good, but how does it taste?  As for the beer, to be honest, I’m loosing my palate. But still, it tastes good. How does it hold against the others? We’re not done yet. We’ll keep you posted. The group of wayward travelers has found themselves deep in the heart of Detroit, sampling the fine dinning and atmosphere of the locals. What lies beyond this destination we have only but to wait and find out.

Traffic Jam





Deep in the heart of Detroit is a bastion of hope, and it is called Traffic Jam. Jessy, our exotic server, has shown us great hospitality. The Oatmeal Stout is very good, the others ordered a pitcher of the wheat ale. No complaints yet. Ian said it was good. Horseshoes may be on the agenda. Cheese has also been ordered. Will it be as good as the beer? My gut says yes!

p.s. new beer tap at the bar, cooper, awesome!

Fort Street Brewery






We have pulled into the Fortress Street Brewery. The quest is well under way, there is no turning back. Even if there were, what would that say about us? We noticed the Doug's Turbo Sarsaparilla. Our Server informs us it's a root beer tasting brew. We are excited to taste it. The first orders of food are coming in. Will it be enough to satiate the growing hunger? Time will tell. We must press on from here. Bad news! Dave, Rob and I were the only ones to get the Turbo, they ran out. And on top of that, the head brewer isn't here today. Woes us! Still, Fort Street, thanks for having us!

Liberty Street Brewery





The drink of choice at this stop seems to be the Amber Waves Wheat Ale. A few Mild Brown Ales. It is early in the adventure and day. That is evident in the fact that we are the only ones at Liberty Street right now. Spirits are high, blood alcohol low. We trudge on.

The Adventure Begins




And so there were four, four adventures adventuring forth to Adventures in Homebrewing, where there were much adventures and brewing to be had. In fact it was National Homebrewing Day. Many samples were on tap and the staff was very hospitable to us wayward souls. Ed (the paladin) had the Root beer. Dave the barbarian drank from the chalice of American Amber, whilst Rob the Wizard imbibed in the sour cherry ale. Ben the Ranger sampled a little bit of both, and it was good.
