After an indiegogo campaign, winning the Hatch incubator contest and a few bumps (or mountains) in the road, Batch Brewing Company was born. The first Nano brewery in Michigan is nestled in the centerpiece of Detroit’s revitalization, Corktown. Using local ingredients when possible, they serve up an ever changing menu of small batch craft beer made directly in their taproom.
Beers range in price. We had the 10 oz. Belgian Golden Ale ($6) and 10 oz. Son of a Batch ($5). The food menu is small, but offers a variety of delicious & creative eats, including Smoked Whitefish Spread ($9) and Bavarian Pretzels ($6).
The wide open taproom is lined with communal seating, long tables that enable you to make friends with the stranger next to you if you please. The cashier is toward the back where you place your order and grab your beer. If you want some grub, they’ll give you a number and deliver it to your table. We were there on a Saturday right around opening time and didn’t have a tough time finding a spot. We stood to the side sipping our beers for a bit while we waited for part of a table to clear up. There’s also a long bar that you can post up at. I loved the relaxed vibe of this spot and could see myself enjoying many brews in the company of good people.
