Beerhead Bar, Eatery To Open In Novi

NOVI, MI — A new place to sip some brew and grab a bite to eat is coming to Novi. Local entrepreneur Yousef Ayyash will bring the American craft beer bar franchise Beerhead Bar & Eatery to Michigan residents for the first time this summer. The restaurant and bar will be located at 44375 W. 12 Mile Road at Fountain Walk.

"I am very excited to bring this concept to Novi residents,” Ayyash said in the announcement. “Michigan has one of the best craft beer markets in the nation and I plan to utilize the many great local breweries we have around us.”

Beerhead is expected to offer some 500 brands of beer and showcase many local choices. The lunch and dinner menus will have food made from locally-sourced ingredients.

Ayyash, his wife Kelly, and his brother Abdel are working together to launch their Beerhead franchise in Michigan. Ayyash immigrated to the U.S. from Jordan at 18 and immediately dove into the world of entrepreneurship with working in a variety of businesses over the last two decades. He found success specifically working in the food and beverages industry and ultimately decided to join the Beerhead system stemming from a past growing up with a family passionate about good food and great drinks, the announcement said.

Ayyash believes Fountain Walk is the perfect “entertainment complex” for a place where people can gather for drinks, live music and a fun, laid-back atmosphere. Beerhead currently has seven locations and is rapidly expanding in craft beer rich regions of the Midwest including Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. The brand estimates it will open 30 stores over the next four years.
