“Founded in 1997, Atwater Block Brewery made its debut in Detroit, Michigan in the historic Rivertown district. The original owner’s reasoning and focus was to bring back the Bohemian style lager that Stroh’s Brewing Company had made famous in the mid 1800’s. The passion for beer started in 1848 when the first mass produced beer was bottled in the Detroit area. So although Detroit is known for being the Motor city, at one time Michigan had more production breweries than anyone in the country. Atwater wanted to re-invent that product back in 1997 of making German style Lagers. The owners purchased a Kasper Schulz, the oldest makers of brewing equipment in the world! It was purchased at a trade show in 1996 and by 1997 Atwater was producing beer!

I visit at least one time a year for the Atwater Brewery Race, it is always one of my favorites. I love a dirty blonde and they integrate with the race so well. Food is solid, but beer is top notch.

Brewery across from the Riverwalk. Physically large with terrible parking options (we got a ticket.) Lots of merch. It was dead but it was also a Monday afternoon, but it was a holiday weekend....
