Located in a strip mall and filled with families and their noisy kids. About a dozen beers and three meads on tap and the service was excellent. You could order a sampler of as many beers and meads as you’d like, and that’s always nice. The service was excellent but the food was just ordinary. The beer was kind of run of the mill but I enjoyed the meads for the most part.

mug club member. very laid back place with cool live music. not a ton on draft but what is is very well done. food is above avaerage waitstaff super friendly. go on wednesday when either beer/pizza/or burgers are half off

They have a really good selection of beers and they are always changing it up. The food is really good and they have a big variety from cheese sticks, fish dinners, salads, a variety of burgers to veggie patties tabouleh and pita chips! They have really great service with knowledgeable staff. You can become apart of the beer club they have and get discounts and free stuff.

The food specials are great, especially for lunch, and the wheat pizza with the bold and spicy beer sauce is fantastic. I looked through the older reviews for Sherwood and completely agree with what people were saying, decent basic beer and pretty good bar food were very accurate a few years ago, but things have definitely turned around. We used to visit occasionally but an improved staff, better menu and greatly improved beer list convinced us to become lifetime members. They went from brewing your garden variety ale, stout, ipa etc...to having things like pumpenickel stout, garlic ale and their evil IPA which were all quite good. The draft list is still small at times but we go quite frequently and there is always something new on the menu worth trying. Their seasonal beers especially have come a long way and their anniversary beers are not to be missed.

Nice place with great happy hour specials on food and beer and a pretty unique beer lineup. They have the standards which were of decent quality and some special seasonals which were worth a try. The two standout specials were the Pumpernickel Stout and Garlic Ale. It’s not too far from my home, so I’m sure I will go back again.

Sunday afternoon, Father’s Day, which unbeknown even to the staff upon arrival, meant an early closing at 4 pm. No matter though, it worked out. Pretty empty, though the lack of customers was overshadowed by a dark atmosphere with a bunch of beer paraphernalia on the walls and bottles on top. It also had a sort of rundown, gritty feel to it which was fine for one stop, though not something that would make me come back too often if I lived in the area. Beer however, though a short list of six, was very interesting and quite tasty, including a strawberry dark weizenbock and an excellent Pumpernickel Porter. Bartender was attentive (though admittedly that was quite easy at the time) and seemed to be into the beers she was serving. Overall, somewhat of a weird place but a nice stop for the beer.

This place is definitely worth a stop while in Michigan. It is set in a strip mall (the only off-putting thing about it) and has a laid-back atmosphere. There are several TVs showing sports games. There were 6 beers on tap and each one was pretty solid, especially the Jamocha Stout and Pumpernickel Stout. I didn’t try any of the food so I can’t comment on that. To sum, this is a small, laid-back, relaxed locale with quality beer.

Nice place to get good to excellent beers, watch a game, hang out, and maybe even get some food. Prices are very good, only 7-8 beers on tap at any given time, though. Brewer has been testing the limits with beers lately, with doing double IPAs, wits, belgians, fruits, and smokes. Black Jack Coffee Hazelnut takes the cake though, wonderful beer. ABV is modest with nothing over 9%. I expect to see this place expanding their selection soon enough. Re-rate 3/8/11 - Some remodeling done, ambiance is slightly better. My biggest gripe though is that they no longer allow growlers of their higher gravity beers, which is very important to me.

Very odd location - in a minimall. Beers are decent but nothing worth coming again and again for. Food was what you’d expect, nothing special.

The highest ABV available is 6.0, the highest IBU was 25. Samples were provided in a small plastic thimble and the taste wasn’t close to reflecting the same beer from a pint glass (the server agreed that the tastes aren’t the same). Three of us had a different beer and each was very disappointed and agreed that the beers we were served were like a beginning brewer using an extract kit where the finish doesn’t. This shop has been open for 2.5 years. I can’t figure how a brewer could stay open with such empty tasting products (this bud is not for me). It is in a strip mall near many big box retailers. Perhaps that is their target audience.
