| polomagnifico (12), Saginaw, Michigan | | April 6, 2012 Great ambiance with large ceilings and dark wood interior. Food was spectacular as was the service. Great prices and the portions were huge. The beer selection is very limited and none of them are very good. I would go again for the food though. | | paintedmaple (36), Fenton, Michigan | | July 4, 2011 Beautifully done brewpub with outstanding tiered outdoor seating overlooking the river. Food very good. Not to the bad part - the beer. Little to choose from, so I got an IPA which was served very cloudy and not at all hoppy. I asked the bartender why it so cloudy and he said that they got the lines crossed with the Hefeweizen. He didn’t really seem to think that was a problem. Shame...shame...shame. | | RudiNicole (77), Michigan | | June 18, 2011 Nice place, good food, and beers which are just alright. They are solid examples of their styles, but nothing special. We were given a private tour of the brewery, which was cool and informative. I really enjoyed the layout of the brewery and seating areas, and everything was clean. I wasn’t very excited about any of the beers in particular, so I ended up with the sampler. I liked the red, and the stout... but they were not particularly impressive. | ChuckCharles (1), does not count - explanation | | April 8, 2011 Very nice Micro Brewery, located in the heart of downtown Frankenmuth on the banks of the Cass River. The building atmosphere was awesome, I went in on a wednesday afternoon and it was $5 growler refill day so I bought a German grolsche top growler and filled it with my favorite brew on tap, the Dunkel! The bartender was very friendly and walked me through a 4oz sampling of each brew they had to offer. I would like to see more bottle selection up front in the retail area. Prices were reasonable and the food menu was diverse. Overall I would highly recommend sampling all the frankenmuth brews, and visiting the Brewery is a must. | | walleye (33), Sterling Heights, Michigan | | September 19, 2009 Went there today. had a few beers didn’t eat. nice place , big with a lot of seating with a outdoor seating area. look at a few things on the menue sandwiches ran around $8.00 enrties $10/18. Next visit I plan on trying the food. | | Dogbrick (423), Columbus, Ohio | | January 11, 2008 (Visited 10/2006): Frankenmuth Brewery is located right in the thick of Main St in Frankenmuth. Parking is tricky as there is only a tiny lot in front. However they have a free valet and additional parking across the street.
The building is pretty and keeps with the German/Bavarian theme that permeates the area. Inside, there is a gift shop at the entrance and the bar/restaurant is in a large adjacent room. The bar is along the left side and offers a closeup view of the brewing equipment.
I was a little let down by the beer situation on my visit. There were only 3 beers available, with everything else either being out (the Dunkel) or not suitable for consumption due to problems with the lines (Dry Stout). They also only had one available beer in bottles (Geyer’s). Luckily there were some guest taps to pick up the slack from Victory and New Holland. They also offer their available beers in samples.
Service was as good as could be expected considering how packed the place was. The bartenders were happy to talk about the beers they did have available.
I did not try the food on this visit, but the German fare I saw sure looked good.
All in all I was disappointed with this visit but will definitely give it another shot, as there is obviously potential with this place. Also a good place to kill time if someone else in your group wants to spend 2 hours at Bronner’s. | rsistare (1), Troy, Michigan does not count - explanation | | May 26, 2007 Slow service. No selection of beers. Otherwise, a very cool atmosphere. | MikeMac (4), Wyandotte, Michigan does not count - explanation | | July 7, 2006 Nice looking brewery located almost in the heart of everything and accross the street from my hotel .. Added bonus.. The brewery was a beautiful brick building with the brew kettles on disply up front with the old kettles outside for added look.. The brewery seemed like a food place more than a brewery.. The beer selection in my opinion was rather weak. They had a few guest taps on four to be exact but still on the lighter side.... Did not eat but looked at the menu a decent selection at moderate to high prices... This brewery could use at least one decent beer though. Service was friendly... | | auerbrau (232), Peace Dale, Rhode Island | | May 7, 2006 Decent place, with well constructed brews, but they tend to stick to only the lighter styles. Samples! They also sold some of their beers in bottles, but at high prices. Food was excellent german fare. | | can8ianben (84), Souderton, Pennsylvania | | October 8, 2005 I enjoyed this stop, fairly modern looking brewery with a great location right on the river. All beers on tap are ones they brew on the premesis. None are overwhelmingly good, but they are all decent offerings. They have a sampler that you can order and the food appeared to be good as well although I didn’t have any. Brewery tours happen frequently as well, beer was served pretty cold... |
