DETROIT VICINITY, MICHIGAN
Farther west of Detroit, Southfield’s COPPER CANYON BREWERY provided upscale elegance, patio dining, fireplace, pool tables, and glass-encased copper ferment tanks August ’04.
Sluggishly nutty, fresh-cut wheat-chaffed Northwestern Gold Helles Lager, mildly creamy citrus-tangy diacetyl-laden Copper Canyon Alt, alcoholic citric-sharp herbal-tinged Devil’s Peak IPA, and coffee bean-dried hop-roasted wood-charred Buffalo Jump Stout are offered year round.
Seasonal brews included worthy mandarin orange-spiked ginger-hopped floral-accented coriander-dabbed Belgian Saison and watered down almond-buttered cocoa-malted whiskey-pleated Anniversary Ale.
