Here at the grand opening for Detroit鈥檚 newest brewery, Brewery Faisan, in the Islandview neighborhood! They offer primarily Belgian-inspired brews, but the dry-hopped IPA and coffee stout are also very good. #mibeer

.@BellsBrewery's Double Two-Hearted Ale is exactly what it sounds like: A double IPA version of the celebrated American IPA. Our review: bit.ly/2UfK2DR
Speaking of barrel-aged, the @BellsBrewery BBA Expedition Stout is in bottles at HopCat Detroit and it鈥檚 excellent, per usual. (Just be sure to let it warm up to get the flavors out.)

The @foundersbrewing Underground Mountain Brown is here. Will review it on @untappd Friday. In its previous release, as Barrel-Aged Sumatra Mountain Brown, it had a 4.29 rating, behind only KBS, CBS and BA Imperial Stout among Founders offerings this past year.
