"The upstairs patio at Southeast Michigan sour beer purveyor Jolly Pumpkin is one of the smaller outdoor dining areas in Ann Arbor, but those lucky enough to score a table are treated to a quiet, secluded hideaway. The menu features options like shoestring truffle fries, sourdough crust pizzas, and burgers." - John Reyes
"Jolly Pumpkin is known for its award-winning sour beers, heavenly truffle fries, and pizzas. The brewpub’s JP Burger is an umami lover’s dream with its cambozola cheese, cremini mushrooms, and bacon and the lamb burger is also bursting with the flavor of cumin and garlic." - John Reyes
"Jolly Pumpkin has become famous for its well-regarded Belgian-style ales. The Main Street brewpub was the first of what is now nine locations across Michigan and Chicago and has always had a menu with an excellent selection of vegetarian fare. Jolly Pumpkin is open for dine-in or order online for carryout." - John Reyes
"The renowned Belgian-style beers from Jolly Pumpkin and spirits from Traverse City-based Civilized Spirits are available order online for pickup." - John Reyes
"Brewmaster Ron Jeffries has been brewing professionally since 1995, and he opened Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales in 2004. With a focus on wild yeast open-fermented, oak-aged sour beers long before the style hit any sort of mainstream popularity, Jeffries is considered something of a craft brew pioneer. Today, Jolly Pumpkin has become a destination for sours and has expanded well beyond their brewery in Dexter (just outside Ann Arbor). They now have brewpubs in six cities across Michigan and even one in Chicago where you can get a flight of their signature sours. But the Ann Arbor location is special for its granite baked pizza made from a century-old sourdough starter." - Vox Creative
