Best brew pub

More than a beer-geek hangout, Arbor Brewing Co. typifies everything you hope to find in a pub: a nice selection of well-prepared food that transcends pub grub, good local music, and, oh yes, beer, most of it brewed on the premises. It varies season to season, but you can always find Red Snapper Special Bitter and Faircy-Fest Irish Stout, both outstanding examples of their class. You may even be lucky enough to get there when the mighty Terminator Doppelbock is on tap. Two of those and you’ll need a designated driver.
