Best place to stop North Detroit to Saginaw

I am traveling from Columbus up to Marquette, MI at the end of the month. We have decided to leave Thursday afternoon after work to break up the drive and figured we should plan our stop around a brewery or restaurant. We want to get past Detroit and are looking for somewhere to stop between there and Saginaw. Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.

Check out Kuhnhenn in Warren Michigan.
For mead check out Schramms in Ferndale Michigan

Ya dont know how far you want to veer off i75 but those are the two best. Griffin Claw is worth a stop too and is right on your way.

Bastone Brewing in Royal Oak,MI just won a Gold Medal for "Best Small Brewpub" at GABF last year. While, it is probably still in the midst of the Detroit-traffic you wanted to avoid, it’s worth a stop for dinner. (And, it would put in the neighborhood of Schramm’s as well)

Witch’s Hat would be a good stop if you are looking to use the I-275>US-23 bypass of Detroit.

Hope you enjoy the trip up to Marquette! Beautiful this time of year. Make sure you grab some "UPA" from Upper Hand (Bell’s Brewing) and Ore Dock in Marquette is a fun little spot, along with BlackRocks.

Cheers!

Oh yea, I forgot to mention Cognition Brewing in Ishpeming.

New to the scene and making damn good beer. It’s not far from Marquette, so check it out!

Schramm’s is the only must-stop IMO, but Witch’s Hat and Griffin Claw are worth a stop too if you’re in the area. Dragonmead is an option too.

If in royal oak pass hard on bastone. Place is a joke. 4 beers on tap and 2 were very off. Try river Rouge instead.

Anyone been to tenacity brewing in flint? There is no info on here about them at but it seems to have some potential.
