I would have liked to see more Dark horse on tap that wasn't the amber. It was nice having 4 shorts taps and 2 livery taps to choose from. The beer selection is a good 50% michigan beer, 30% other american craft beer, and 20% other drafts from europe and canada. I was eager to go visit a place with 48 taps, a firkin and a whole buncha bottles, just to see what's what. This place had been hyped up a bit for me.

If it was in my beer desert of a neighborhood, I would be raving about it. I cannot remember what else I ate, but I remember liking the food. They were pretty good, but I am not addicted. They were french fries covered in a mix of herbs and spices I guess. I of course had to try the often mentioned "crack fries". Never fear, I did manage to find several beers to satisfy me. Perhaps they were playing it safe and I tend to like the more unusual beers. I liked the concentration on the Michigan craft brewers but they somehow didn't seem to have a lot of my favorites. Well, except for the IPA, which they were out of at the time. But a closer inspection revealed that they were styles that I wasn't really interested in. I didn't realize they brewed their own in addition to the many others on tap. I was surprised to find that they had some Hopcat beers. The beer selection is certainly respectable. Unfortunately, it was very busy on the Tuesday evening that I visited and I was not able to get a spot at the bar. There is plenty of wood, a large bar, and it wasn't covered in TVs.
I had heard about Hopcat from people I met at Founders, so I had to try it.
