Coming Soon--Atwater Brews!



AtwaterWhen you think “Detroit,” your next thought might be a combination of Eminem, Ford, James Earl Jones and the Temptations. But a craft brewery located in the historic Rivertown district is about to change that. Allow us to introduce to you Atwater Brewery.


Coming soon to ABC is a selection of Atwater brews, including Dirty Blonde Ale, Grand Circus IPA and Vanilla Java Porter. Take it from us, they can’t get here soon enough.




Dirty BlondeAtwater’s Dirty Blonde Ale is an American blonde ale with distinct notes of orange peel and coriander. This beer is brewed with American hops, it’s crisp, slightly sweet and comes in a can. What more could you need a summer—or any season, for that matter—beer? This was definitely a crowd favorite as the lightness of this straw-colored ale was refreshing and easy-drinking. It is 4.2% ABV with 10 IBUs.



Grand CircusThe Grand Circus IPA boasts a hoppy profile, with a surprisingly crisp citrus finish. Atwater describes this IPA as having “light caramel and bready notes…the American-bred hops come through without being overbearing or cloying.” At 4.2% ABV and 62 IBUs, the Grand Circus IPA comes in with a pale color and leaves you with a lasting finish.



Vanilla Java PorterAnd lastly we sampled Atwater’s Vanilla Java Porter, a deep brown beer with a beautiful espresso, vanilla bean flavor and aroma. The smoothness of this porter fills your mouth and leaves you wanting another taste. Then another. And another, leaving us to fully understand why Atwater’s slogan is “We drink all we can and sell the rest.” If brewing this porter was our business, we’d probably do the same.* One suggestion after tasting this one was to pour it over ice in substitution of coffee for those especially hot days. Bad idea? Maybe—or a really great idea. Either way, this Vanilla Java Porter is deeee-licious.


Look for these and more Atwater beers to show up on ABC shelves sometime in the near future!


*We are not, of course, condoning irresponsible drinking.
