Ascension Brewing Company

Short staff problems. The kitchen was backed up and only two on the wait staff for a Saturday night. This is a small dining room so not many tables. There are some traditional table as well as some high tops and some long community tables for larger groups. The cheddar ale soup is amazing, I'd eat it by the buckets. The chili was vinegar-y and had more liquid than it should. The salads are great value to get some greens and protein. They only serve beer and no other alcoholic beverages.

Tried today for the first time. Built my own burger with bacon & pepperjack, with truffle fries and a Reclassified IPA. Everything was excellent! If you want a great bar burger, this is the place! Service was very friendly, efficient and prompt (but not rushed.). Highly recommend it!

Great location on Grand River Avenue Nestled along Grand River Avenue in Novi, the Ascension Brewing Company is a delightful gem for beer enthusiasts.

The brewery also offers a selection of food, from soups and salats, over Sandwiches and Burger to a small amount of Entrees, although it's worth noting that the kitchen is not open during the whole time. Nevertheless, the welcoming atmosphere and the charm of this place make you forget about the daily grind in no time. What truly sets Ascension Brewing Company apart is its staff. They are not only exceptionally friendly but also well-versed in the nuances of their brews. They're more than happy to guide you through the beer selection, adding a personal touch to your experience. In summary, Ascension Brewing Company is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a taste of handcrafted beer excellence. Whether you're a local or passing through, you'll find yourself coming back for another round in no time!

My first "let's take a ride somewhere" brewery. If you can't combine your hobbies, get different hobbies. 🍺 & 🏍, baby! When I first rode in I couldn't immediately find the place. Saw everything except Ascension, even drove around the back just in case. Once I actually saw the sign, I felt much better. It's a cool spot, lots of room inside and out. Airy feeling and an almost 'I've been here before' vibe to it. Very family friendly. Put my orders for food and brews in with a very nice, and quite busy, beertender. Beer showed up just a couple minutes later, the food takes longer, duh, but not much. So, with a cool adult beverage and a hot stack of BBQ pork on a bun I deem this day fully underway. The sandwich, the Ninja Pig, was delicious, juicy and tender. The Cuban sounded tasty but I've had real Cuban sandwiches made by actual Cubans so, no, not setting myself up for disappointment. The beers are on Untappd. Gorilla Juice was phenomenal! The music is too loud, almost exclusively 90s pop, causing all the conversations to be amplified. Think I'll take my beer and my book and sit outside for a while.

Great brewery with numerous beer options. Tried a flight of four beers that I thought I would like. Sat outdoors on a late May afternoon. I really enjoyed the seating arrangement right outside the Brewery on the deck. Would definitely visit this place if in the area.

We had a great time here. Great draft beer selection. I got a flight of four draft beers, fifth stop, expensive piece, not my crust and millennials. I am not a huge beer drinker but I really liked the beers here. All were really good but “not my crust” was my favorite. Others in our group really liked “expensive piece” and “millennials”. Their burgers are really good. I got the Katze beer with my burger. We got a few beer cans to go as well. Would love to come back soon.

Everyone here is great, but I want to give an extra special shout out to Nolan for really making my day a better after a bout of bad news. I come here fairly often, but I will always remember this particular visit at the end of September 2022. Thank you! Get some Gorilla Juice when you get the chance…..absolutely fantastic! This review is long overdue, sorry about that. I’m fortunate to live close to a small business with great food, great beer and great people!

Good choice of craft beers. The Ninja Pig pulled pork sandwich was delicious and barbecue sauce was very good with just the right bite. Staff was very friendly.
