Michigan Beer Company, Novi

Few things say "We support Michigan craft brewing" like having 100 local craft elixirs available. But that's not the end of the beer fanfare at Michigan Beer Company. Alongside draft selections by the likes of Bell's and Kuhnhenn Brewery, this beer stop and comfort-food hotspot serves as one of the few growler-filling stations in the state. So if you love Atwater Brewery's Vanilla Java, for instance, but can't find it in your local store or neighborhood beer well, you can take 64 ounces home with you.

But if you're looking to gaze upon the taps for a bit, you can sidle up to the stone bar and order some braised-rabbit pierogis, followed up with a classic filet of Michigan trout or a venison burger. Before or after head out onto the beer garden—open year-round—for live music from local bands and, of course, more beer.
