The Mitten Brewing Company8.6
Visited with my wife while on a work trip. The food is solid. Their brick oven pizzas never disappoint. But, I will say if you get one with a lot of "wet" ingredients the crust may not be as crispy as expected. Small issue. The beer is not as good as the pizza but it is above average, complementing the pizza perfectly. The service is typically top notch. Sitting at the bar you feel like Norm and Cliff: everyone is friendly and great conversation. Similar to many places in the Grand Raids area, this is in an old building that has plenty of charm. Add the service and bar chit-chat to making it very welcoming and comfortable. The pricing for the pizzas is on the high side for what you get. The beer is average price. Right on a corner, easy to see. I would say parking may not be the easiest. We have been here many times. The pizza, atmosphere and service keep us coming back. Enjoy!

Visited while on a business trip with my wife. Make sure you use GPS to find the place as it is behind another building. I like the old look to the building and then the beautiful ceiling once inside. Their brewing area is quite small for the barrel aging they are doing with the sours. Assume the same base for multiple beers, then add a twist once fermented. Had time for only a single beer, Magic Trait (had blackberries and black currants), but that beer is really good. I know it takes a while to make a sour but their beers definitely have a premium on them. A flight probably makes more sense. On a slow Monday, the bar tender only had another couple but was more worried about menial tasks than really attending to the few patrons. Wish for better service. The beer is really good and if this was closer, I would be there a lot. Unfortunately it is not. Step up the service and possibly they will be busier. Worth the stop if you are in the area. Enjoy!

The service is top notch! The food, I had the just veggin, was darn tasty. Had a flight of their 5 IPAs on tap. Everything was done well. Chatted brewing with the owner and head brewer. Many people came in for lunch but did not have a beer. So having options is key to their business All-in-all I would recommend to anyone.
