Kuhnhenn Brewing

Kuhnhenn has always had good beer, the best on the east side. Alyssa is a great beertender. I’m still waiting for them to brew the Elvis beer they made (again), that I never got to try. My only complaint is the price of their barrel aged beers is pretty steep.

A definite standout in metro Detroit! Absolutely phenomenal beers. Wide variety and selection of options with so many hits. They make all of these beers, stouts, sours, IPAs, wheats, and more. Everything you could want, they have it and they make it. My all time favorite is still the double rice IPA "DRIPA". A stellar beer! I have had a great experience here with every visit. If you need a pretty significant snack, their pretzel is enormous and very tasty! The staff is quick to serve and answer any questions and also fun to chat with. Also of note, they really like sharing about their beers and have pride in their selection. Love this place and I'll definitely be picking up another pack of these beers every time I'm at the liquor store, and stopping in whenever I'm passing by. One of the best brewers in Michigan!

Kuhnhenn is an absolute must for beer/mead lovers! Big variety of styles! They didn't have what I came for- Solstice Stout! Not even a bottle :/ but I know it's a labor of love and takes years sometimes! Great bartenders, great pop-up, and even trivia night the last time I came! Cool merch, too - I bought a T-shirt for a beer that I didn't even try haha 😆 🍻

A nice space, huge U-shaped wooden bar with a wide top. Plenty of light at 7 p.m. Beer lists on chalkboards on two different walls. Nice selection 24 including several meads and some specialty drinks, too. Quite loud for the 20 odd people here, almost completely overpowering the tunes that I could hear when I first arrived. Making it difficult to read my book. Decent amount of parking on the east side of the building. Beertender Cody is very nice. Pleasant demeanor, easy, relaxed attitude, knowledgeable as well. Doesn't appear to be a food menu but I ate before I got here so that is not a problem.

I returned to Kuhnhenn's, my favorite brewery when I lived in Detroit, after a 6-year absence. Their beers are now completely undrinkable. Everything is bitter and sour. All I can figure is that the yeast they use for their sour beers has contaminated everything they make. Very disappointing - they used to be great beer. To make sure that my taste buds hadn't changed, I went to the Farmington Brewery and got their blood orange beer, which was still delicious! In fact, I brought 2 growlers of it home.

This place is and has been sold for as long as I can remember... If you find yourself on this side of the planet you should for sure stop by!

Dayna is the best!! We love going to visit her. They have a great selection of beers that change periodically. 10/10 would recommend. They don’t have a full food menu so eat first or plan for light snacking.

Kuhnhenn Brewery is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with a warm, laid-back vibe that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy some seriously top-tier brews. Their beer selection is phenomenal—whether you’re into rich, complex meads, bold IPAs, or unique small-batch creations, there’s something here that’ll blow your mind. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do. Bonus points for the cozy atmosphere and the kind of local charm that makes you want to keep coming back. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out. Cheers!

Came her with 3 gf's after working out. We were just looking for a light snack, a drink and a place to chat. Kuhnhenn provided the perfect location for all 3. Out waitress could not have been more helpful as 2 of us were super indecisive on what beer we wanted. She gave us mini samples of several to help us narrow it down and we all ended up with something we liked. Then I ordered a personal pizza and they decided to split the giant pretzel. My pizza was cooked perfectly and was just the right size. The pretzel was giant! We all got a laugh at how big it really was. They really enjoyed it and said it was delish. The prices for everything were really reasonable. We'll be back soon.

Really great beer!! The Dripa and all the different forms of Dripa are my favorite. Bartenders are cool and the building is neat too! Regulars are also friendly. I would recommend you stop in for a beer, or 3!

Recently had the Barrel Aged 4th D 2022, categorized as an Old Ale I found this particular ale refreshing from the more common beer and ale types that I come across. The ale has a punch of 13% ABV if I remember correctly and sometimes nothing beats sitting down to a good, stiff alcoholic beverage and this ale more than qualifies for that. Flavor highlights for this absolutely wonderful ale is toffee, caramel and plums which kind of result in a jam like quality in a delightfully complex flavor profile. I could easily have this ale again, that much is for certain but preferably to share with somebody as I did with the bottle I had due to that ABV.

First, let me start off by saying I've been getting kegs for my home bar from Kuhnhenn's for several years now, and the staff have always been friendly and accommodating and the brews are always consistently high in quality. I had an old keg that had been sitting in my garage for a couple years, and they cleaned it for me, no charge. I'm a craft brew aficionado and a loyal customer. But, I just need to vent. I stopped by today to switch out a keg and nearly everything on the board (and the list was extensive) was either super high ABV (8% and up) or a session ale (3-4%) . My point is, simply having 22 beers on tap doesn't mean you have a well rounded selection. Second, I noticed a "Lucky Charms" flavored beer on tap. Really?! I think I saw a "Fruit Loops" beer as well. O.k. I understand brewers get bored, but they didn't have a standard pale ale, they didn't have an ESB on tap. Did a customer request that they make a Lucky Charms beer?! Does the world need a Jalapeno Mango Basil IPA? NO! Could you please just make good, solid English style ales and German lagers? That's how to distinguish yourselves from the Blueberry Porters and Candy Apple Whit beers out there. Best Regards!

The beer was very good and a wide variety of to choose from. The GIANT pretzel was just ok.

Check it out love it or hate it. Kuhnhenn stays consistent. Same staff same dedication and commitment to the team family. If you were here years ago the bartenders and all the regulars are still here. The good beer service, standard of service, is what you get at k1. Check out the other reviews, come and take a look for yourself. It definitely has a good feel, and some excellent beer. Been coming for years, time to show love. CK it out.

A good beer, upbeat atmosphere and hardworking staff. Stopped in to avoid traffic and had a Strawberry PD. Would stop by again!

This is such a great bar to go to when you want to go out, relax, and drink a beer with a friend. The vibe is very mellow and relaxing. Most people sit at the bar area, and I got to meet a lot of cool people. Kevin served us and he was on top of his game. He was taking time talking to each person, while running around and serving everyone. I was impressed with how fast he was, especially because he was doing it himself. It wasnt extremely busy, but the bar had a good amount of people. I found out from someone there that you can bring food in if youd like and that sometimes there are food trucks during nicer weather. Overall, my husband and I had a great time with friends. Say hi to Kevin if you go in, he is there on Saturday nights. He remembers people that come in. He is super nice, funny, and attentive.

I lived down the street from this brewery until I was in my late 20s. I have not been here in probably 15 years. Crazy to think of that. When I walked in I had such nostalgia. It was not very busy but that was ok. I was having one and moving on. They have a large variety of beer options. The place is clean and the service is friendly. You can go next door and bottle your own beer as well. That's super fun!

Came here to try it out on a random Saturday with a friend. It sort of looked like a beer supply store or something with barrels and items outside. Inside still a bit cluttered and it was seat yourself. We sat at bar and there were a few seated and a few people at the bar. A game was on and it was pretty low key while people drank their beer. The beer was good. Staff was friendly and he would get a bit busy since it appeared it was just him. Had a flight. They have a lot of different styles. One thing - it just wasn't all that clean. If it had been, definitely would have been higher score wise. I don't live close by and probably won't endeavor to return because of the clutter and being dirty.

Beer is still good, but dirty, sewer flies in the bathroom, run down. Kind of sad because I like the beer

Like 3.5/5 but I will round up to 4 stars. I had never been to this Kuhnhenn location before, so I was a bit disappointed in the (lack of) food choices. We primarily came here today for the pierogies pop-up, but I was hoping to get some coconut chicken tenders and/or duck fat fries too, like the other location had. Like I mentioned, the food menu is pretty limited - we got one of the stadium-sized jumbo pretzels ($12), which was pretty good. My boyfriend got a 10-oz. pour of the DRIPA, one of their more popular beers. At the other Kuhnhenn location, I did a mead and wine flight once, so I asked if I could do that at this location ... our waiter said they don't normally do wine flights but he could make an exception and do half-pours. I tried the Peach Apricot Chardonnay, the Blueberry Pinot Noir, the Wild Berry Shiraz, and the Pomegranate Zinfandel, all of them were really good, although my favorite was the Chardonnay and my least favorite was the Zinfandel, which was kind of like a sparkling wine. It was only about $10 for four pours, too, which was a decent deal. From the pierogies pop-up, we got an order of the chef's choice (four of her choosing) as well as a kielbasa, and both were delicious. I'd go into more detail on these except Kuhnhenn doesn't normally have pierogies ... the pierogies were from Pietrzyk Pierogi, though. I would come back here again but probably just for a drink, as the food menu is so small - the other Kuhnhenn location is much better in that regard, and also has a larger mead list (this location only had one mead choice, which I did not try). The wines here were very good, though, and waitservice was speedy, as well.

Bret & Eric Kuhnhenn c/o Kuhnhenn Brewing 5919 Chicago Rd Warren, MI 48092 Dear Bret & Eric: I want to thank you guys and all the other folks at Kuhnhenn Brewing. Years ago I would have been labeled as an alcohol abuser but now I'm older and times have changed. You and other craft breweries have turned my drinking problem into a cool, culturally acceptable hobby. I am now highly regarded as a Craft Beer Enthusiast and for that I am grateful. Now my friend Derek has been to Kuhnhenn's many times and he has wanted to introduce me to your brewery for quite a while. The opportunity finally arose and we headed on over. I got to try a few of your brews including your award winning DRIPA / Double Rice IPA and "A Few Shillings Too Many Ale". The Scottish Ale was really more to my taste with it's earthy caramel maltiness, well rounded body and a killer 11% ABV. I would have had a second but Derek reminded me that I needed to drive home so I showed restraint, this time. Anyways, your space is really chill, totally laid back and is perfect for relaxing after work. I just wish you had a kitchen. In any case, I / he / we will be back again sometime. Cheers! Mike G. Craft Beer Enthusiast

Been here a few times - love the beer here! Always get a flight to try out the diff options. I enjoy the diff options and it has good flavor profile across the board. It's a pretty relaxed environment and enjoy the vibe for a casual night out. They also have growlers and cans you can get here. Along with ports and mead. So good options overall!

Kuhnhenn's is fantastic! They certainly put some thought into the beer paring for Valentine's Day. I loved the truffles and the Samoa Nut Brown and Baltic Porter were delicious!

Let me start by saying that I love this brewery. Great spirits. They try to have events with food but fail miserably. I have to go get paper towel from the bath room and wipe the tables. When they have an event, you are expected to wait in line at the bar and order beer and food. It's quicker to DoorDash. We try to support the events but it's rough. But if you want great beer, they are bar none the best in the area. Got the waitress to come and take our order once we got a table after 1.5 hours. Got here shortly after 5 and it 7:15. Really hungry and getting a buzz. No matter what the event or night of the week, service is lacking. I really feel bad for the waitstaff as you can see people in the back hanging out with friends. Clearly must be ownership and management. The stress shows on their faces out on the floor. Thinking or ordering food from DoorDash as I wait impatiently. Trying to keep support for the local business. Wait , a table that ordered 25 minutes before us just got their food. I see the light...nope it's gone. I see people that have brought food in Tupperware. Clearly they have learned. But my god the beer is good.

A Friday afternoon after work seemed to be a good time to check out Kuhnhenn Brewery, one of Yelp's Cashback businesses. Good parking, very friendly, typical noise. Very glad to see that they offer custom flights, so I ordered a selection. They were out of a couple of offering, but it wasn't anything world-shaking. Found out that they were celebrating Oktoberfest that Friday and following Saturday, I'm glad to have gotten in when it wasn't very crowded. The flights hit the spot! Cost for five with tip was around $15, not bad. As others have stated, the food menu is pretty limited. Good place to go with a group and relax! Repeat and recommend!

Not your normal gastro pub...but definitely your top of the line beer house. One of my top 5 Michigan stables within Metro-Detroit.

Brought a friend since he's never been and never had a DRIPA (Double Rice IPA). We were enjoying our beers and were perusing the beer menu when I noticed that Pietryzyk Pierogi was going to be at Kuhnhenn's shortly. I've been dying to try their food. The bartender said they were just arriving to set up so we started deciding which beer would be next. They have a very wide variety so it's a tough choice. I went with a Loonie Kuhnie since I'm partial to pales ales. Not as strong as my first but a nice hoppy ale with a citrusy finish. My friend tried the Blueberry DRIPA. It really takes the fruit well. Time for Pierogi. Got a sampler of 4. All were very creative and non traditional. One made with Kuhnhenn's White Devil. All are excellent The fried bologna was just OK and the Cucumber in sour cream with dill is very good. Great beer and the rotating food trucks and pop ups make this a real winner.

It's the beer. Great variety of beer, not just a bunch of IPA's. Red ale, Belgian's, IPAs, to name a few.

We enjoyed Brian's company. He was great with recommendations on pizza, micro breweries and meaderies. On the beer side, they have something for everyone. I really enjoyed the DRIPA and the stout. The surprise was the Cherry rhubarb lime aid cider. We don't usually drink cider, but too a growler back with us.

Love the beer here, the BRIPA (blueberry rice India pale ale) was delish! Only knock is no food!

This place is really cool. My boss suggested to come here to kick off the weekend. If you drove by the place. You might just miss it. I sure did! This is a wonderful place and great atmosphere. The house brew Dripa is really good. Nice and light with amazing kick back flavors. The Blueberry Dripa is what caught my attention for my second glass. Boy! It's something special.. You will like this! It's a must try! The blueberry comes right out leaving you wanting another glass. It's one of my new favorites. They offer their customers free popcorn while enjoying one of their fresh brew products. There's multiple seasonings and hot sauce to add on to your popcorn. They do not have a kitchen. However, this place offers specialty food trucks and vendors at certain times during business hours of the week. While during my visit the had pirogies available from a small food vendor. These were amazing!! Me and my boss had the pick four. Which the chief picks them randomly from the selection of offered pirogies on the menu. We had one or two of each types. They were very delicious and full of amazing flavors. We had the side items of fried bologna and cucumbers with onions. These were also amazing. One favorite item I liked from the vendor. They used wooden sporks and knives. That was a first I've seen them. Very cool! I recommend you try this place. Strongly recommend. Thumbs up! Well done to the staff.

This review is for the original Kuhnhenn on Chicago Road at Mound. I remember all the way back when this was a hardware store that sold brewing supplies and an auto repair shop. I'm glad that they have been able to expand and serve some of the best beer and wine in Macomb County. Just so you know they have a limited menu of pizza, pretzels and popcorn. But they are served by food trucks and pop-ups which are very good. Last night we had pierogies. They were delicious, I can't wait to go back and have a go with them again. There are also other food vendors who serve some very delicious food. Staff is fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Stop in and have some delicious beverages and interesting foods.

I've been a fan of Kuhnhenn brewing for a long time. I recently visited the Warren location with a group of folks from work. The service was great and they accommodated a group of up to 10 people. Considering the recent conditions during the pandemic, I was pleased that this number of people in my group was acceptable. The brewery was very clean and the staff wore masks at all times. The beer was as good as always. It felt good to enjoy a few brews with some friends. We also felt as though Kuhnhenn provided a safe atmosphere to do so. I would highly recommend their porter as well as any of their fruity beers. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu, Thanks, Kuhnhenn, for all you do. - bs

Great place to hang out and have some chilled beer. The chicken wings and pretzels were too good, we ordered those couple of times. Friendly staff. Will be visiting again

They have plenty of beer to choose from, but I am not sure why a flight of 4 beers is $19. It was changed recently from $13 (you'll know because it's handwritten in the menu). My guess is that they don't want customers ordering flights so that jacked up the price to an unreasonable amount. Therefore, I went for a couple of pints instead. I didn't much like the IPA I had, which is abnormal for me. I did really enjoy a porter though. I would've liked to try more of them though. There should really be an affordable option for trying a variety. Anyway, cool tap room where you can see the tanks through the window. There is a popcorn machine. They also have some wine and mead they make as well. They just started canning a couple of their beers. The ginormous pretzel was delicious with both mustard and with cheese. I may go back here to get a pint and a pretzel sometime.

I wasn't sure what to expect before coming here. This place has a low-key web presence on the list of craft breweries in Michigan BUT the DRIPA did not disappoint. My boyfriend and I tasted the fluffer and DRIPA but as soon as we got a sip of the DRIPA, we knew we both wanted glasses of that. Ambiance was great, very open, good for groups, lots of TVs and my boyfriend's favorite part--Mario kart! With the high ABV we stopped at one each (this is almost a 10 percenter), but took a growler to-go. Would like to come back again to try their other beers as well!

We have been coming to the Winter Solstice party for the last 7-8 years and it is always a time. Every so often they pass out shots of wassail and everyone toasts together. You can bring in your own food or have it delivered. There are lots of drink choices and board games to play.

Well, it's about damn time I found myself down here. I've been into craft beer for a bit over a year now, and have long thought of Kuhnhenn as the "king" of Michigan microbreweries (of course there's Bell's and Founders... but whatever). I finally went down this past evening and I'd go back and go back again. When I first walked in, I asked if a group of people asked for a five-person reservation. I got a pretty snobby, "We don't accept reservations here." and I just sat down alone and waited. So far, so good! I was expecting some waitresses that hated their job! Before long, the people I was meeting arrived, and we got some beer. I sat with my back to the windows so I could see the main bar area as well as all the TVs. The whole place is just covered in wood and lacquer... that's really all it is. It doesn't look bad, it just looks kind of ordinary. What doesn't look ordinary are the TVs... holy fucking screenburn! I think it's time to get some new TVs, Kuhnhenn brothers, what do you think? Alright, alright... the beer. I wound up getting 2011 Vintage Fourth Dementia, Bourbon Barrel Fourth Dementia, TRIPA, Export Stout, and Raspberry Eisbock in a sampler for about $12.50. The 2011 Fourth Dementia and Raspberry Eisbock came with half pours, but that's what I expected. The quality of beer and the ABV made the $12.50 or so total price pretty reasonable. After the paddle, I tried a Conundrum... which reminded me of a watered down Export Stout -- a great session beer. Lucky for me, Detroit BBQ Company was in Kuhnhenn offering up some BBQ. I got a pulled pork sandwich (which came with a side of spicy coleslaw) for $8, and I thought it was great. Even BEFORE drinking much of anything, I thought this was some of the best BBQ I had ever had... it didn't even need any BBQ sauce on it. The normal food that Kuhnhenn has is pizza, pretzels, crackers, and cheese... nothing too special. I just came on the right day. My first impression from a random snobby waitress wasn't a great one, but my OWN waitress was knowledgeable about beer, patient, and attentive. It's stupid to give 4* to Kuhnhenn for this reason, but I am ... I give them a 4* rating simply because the prices are a BIT high (wah, wah, wah, I know), the parking area is relatively small, and the food they normally serve is originally frozen ... I think. I get it, they're a brewery, but I've been to plenty of breweries that have outstanding food. Dammit Kuhnhenn, get an executive chef in house! In spite of those minor problems, I would love to go back. I want to go back. Can we go back?

4.5 stars One of the greatest breweries ever coming from a Nova/SoCal gal!! I've definitely seen my share of breweries but the people here were friendly and will let you taste before. Their beers are great-- just kind of on the high end of alcohol content. They do have a BBQ food truck right outdoors if your'e hungry but come here after you've had dinner! They have some "snacks" but they are really just here for the beers. If you're just visiting, please check this place out! It looks like nothing but the beer taste is great and so are the staff! Seems like a local joint but everyone treats you well.

Kuhnhenn has some solid great tasting beers! Unassuming atmosphere, industrial like building in Warren with high top long picnic like tables, and a large circular bar in the center with plenty of seating. They have a large parking lot with plenty of spaces. It can get pretty crowded here. It's really close to the GM tech center so lots of GM workers stop in after work. The beers are all listed on a large chalkboard and they also have menus. One of my fave beers here is the Kuhnieweizen, a German wheat beer with delicious banana flavor. I also really like the Creme Brûlée Java Stout, a dark beer with chocolate, caramel, and coffee flavors. The Loonie Kuhnie and Simcoe Silly are also pretty good. They also serve wines, ciders, and meads. They have a Pink Lemonade cider that is tasty. They offer pints, flights, and growlers. You can also ask for a sample of beer before buying a pint or growler. Their food menu is limited to pretzels, charcuterie boards, and pizzas. They also offer free popcorn. The last time I went, I ordered the giant pretzel. When they say "giant" they mean it. I thought the giant pretzel might be the size of my hand but it was more like the size of my face, lol. The pretzel was so large, it was served in a pizza box! It was super delicious and was shaped like a smiley face with cheese sauce for eyes! They also have food trucks and pop up events as well. Service was pretty good when we went. Overall, nice brewery. I shall return.

You're probably tired of hearing reviews about DRIPA but you'd be a fool to pass on this nectar of the Gods. Their Fluffer IPA- Session, Anneliese Amber, Doyousee Haze IPA and Kuhnieweizen Hefenweizen are my "pace yourself" second choices when lower octane beer is needed to drive back home with your "Precious" White Devil or DRIPA 64oz growlers for bedtime stories.

I'm not sure about some of the other reviews on here, but this is one of my favorite breweries in the area. It's a brewery for people that like to drink beer. It's not a place to go grab a full meal, although they have a few things like pizza and pretzels. They have a couple lighter beers, but the majority are pretty high percentage. There are some complaints about pricing, but I wouldn't say it's anything too extreme. Plus, the growler prices are solid for all of the high percentage beers they have. As long as you like beer and come here to drink beer, you won't be disappointed. Their variety is best in the area and they have a lot of variations within each variety. Grab a Dripa or Blueberry Dripa and you'll be happy.

Came in for the root beer. Left satisfied. I had heard they made their own root beer and I was nearby, so I came in. Their beer list is extensive and very interesting, but I was driving so I passed. Definitely worth a visit just for that sometime. It is, essentially, a big bar for people interested in good beer. Not just a random place to drink, they are very passionate about what they do and apparently very good at it. There's a small menu, typical bar food like pizza and pretzels. It's a wide open space with many tables and a big bar; lots of windows. It was very busy on a Friday night, and parking was tight. Very loud inside, with happy people having conversations. I asked for a root beer and got it swiftly. It was very good- tasted homemade in a good way. The menu mentions honey and vanilla and both were up front in the flavor, though overall it was herby and rooty instead of super sweet. I should have gotten a growler to go.

Ok, Kuhnhenn. I see you. You're doing your thing. You've got yourself a nice large taproom with a big ol bar and plenty of tables. You've usually got some kind of food wagon parked up on your doorstep. You've got like a thousand beers on tap. You've got free popcorn - always a nice touch. But I do have some hesitations. Your beer is pretty solid, but nothing I've ever been able to get too psyched about. Enjoyable, yes. Memorable, eh. Unfortunately, your service *is* memorable. In a bad way. And I'm sorry, I can't really get behind your pricing. Short pours (less than a pint) START at $6? Just a bit much, if you ask me.

I have been stopping by a dog-friendly spot after my weekend hikes, and on calling I learned that their patio was dog-friendly. So, I showed up and headed inside to order (early October). The service was nice, but the beer list wasn't great - no descriptions for any of the beers, so I was largely guessing at which ones were likely the darker options. On setting up outside though, I was very disappointed. There were one or two wooden tables on the side of the patio, taken, leaving only cheap plastic chairs and tables that filled the rest of the patio. These tables were disgustingly dirty, and clearly had seen cleaning no time in the last month. Really made me uncomfortable from a COVID standpoint and I did not spend long there. On the beer side, they clearly excel at their IPAs, which are not my interest. The strawberry was reasonably good, but the darks were over-heavy on burnt flavors, not a good flavor profile. Would not come back based on this experience.

Great Beers !!! Friendly Staff !!! Have been there 4 times. Just wish they had a better food selection. Thumb Up : ) Msg me if u wanna go : )

Awesome space, friendly bartenders, loads of brews to chooose from, wines and fruit wines available, a few snacks to order from the menu or pizza, popcorn (don't forget the hot sauce!!!!) and food trucks every week. What is there not to like? Can't go wrong with this hidden little gem. Bring some friends and a couple games to play, you'll be in business all night long.

This micro brewery has a creative set of beers, often themed for an event. I have had a sausage, blueberry, crème brulee and strawberry beer to name a few. On a warm Sunday afternoon, it feels great to sit at the bar and throw back a few brews with the large doors open and a slight breeze. If you love an original, dark tasty brew, come to Kuhnhenns. If you are a Miller Lite fan, please go to a sports bar instead. The food is limited to pretzels and popcorn. They do allow you to bring in your own. The solstice parties are a must attend for any craft beer lover! It's like a frat party for adults. My only complaint is the service. Some days it's on. Some days I feel like the waitress is taking out her PMS rage on me. Once we were served an incorrect beer and the waitress said 'so'? Thankfully all the beers are delicious, so having a wrong beer wasn't too big of an issue.

Imagine that if after the events of Peter Pan, the Lost Boys grew up a little bit, and in their adventuring somehow found themselves in Warren, Michigan. After a great snowball fight, they would have opened the Kuhnhenn Brewery. Jon was nice enough to take me on the nickel tour. He told me about the original building and how they've slowly grown and expanded and taken over neighboring spaces. The place is freaking crazy in the back. You can see the organic way in which the brewery has grown over the years. Crazy equipment sourced from other industries, acquired in the moment, based on the fact that they can't crank the booze out fast enough to satisfy the relatively small but seriously dedicated fan base. This may be the best brewery ever. I wanted to see the mead production, but the guy wasn't there (he lives across the street), "We stay out of his area when he's not here." Jon explained to me, fair enough. Nice job on the mead, mysterious mead guy. They have terrific, non-pretentious attitudes. You know how cool people don't care about being cool? That's these guys. They make the best beer anywhere and they're really happy because they know they're having fun. They make so many different kinds of beer it's hard for me to even consider the menu. I just took whatever they gave me. It's really another world there. I don't know that they offer any kind of formal tour, but it's totally worth it if you can get somebody to show you around. It helps if you bring gifts. Five crazy beer stars.

Kuhnhenn Brewery... my very first taste of Michigan microbrew beer. And since then, it hasn't stopped. I've been going to Kuhnhenn for quite some time... easily back in to 08 when it was a small hole in the wall... and could barely fit 20 people in the establishment. I've stuck through it now that it has gotten much... much bigger. I'm proud of the place, and every time I go in there it is still an amazing time. The beer selection never disappoints... they have everything for the dark beer fans, light beer fans... and even a killer wine selection. Make sure to check Kuhnhenn out. Don't be surprised if they are busy... this is a sign of a great place. If you want a really good time, go during the week day when there isn't a huge mass of people there. Simcoe Silly FTW!!! :)

While on a business trip to warren MI I stopped by this brewery after getting some Detroit style pizza from Loui's pizzeria. They had at least 20 different beers on tap - many different styles I like the fun atmosphere and the helpful and generous bartenders. Beers $5-$7 ish

Great selection of various flavors of beer, extended their service area, and have food brought in as well as a pretzel the size of your head! I will say, I hate the location. Terrible parking first off. It's right off of Mound road and 13 & 1/2 mile. It's hard to find if you didn't know where it was/ is. There's a defunct auto shop in the front of it so it's kind of hidden. Also, limited security cameras. DO NOT PARK OUT FRONT! I repeat. Don't. You may pay the price as I had, when my car was keyed to hell in the hours of 7-9 pm on a Friday night by some d- bag who thought that that would get his or her rocks off. This completely ruined my experience. However the waitstaff was nice about it, offering whatever assistance they could. I had to call the cops and get a report (then the cop asks to check out my truck cause he's in the market for a new one... geez). I like their beer but this experience will keep me away rather permanently. I don't trust anyone on the eastside as we call it here in Metro Detroit and probably never will suggest going here, unless you walk there.

I'd heard good things about Kuhnhenn Brewing, and was glad to finally get there. We found a wonderful atmosphere, friendly and helpful attitude throughout -- excellent beer, service and food. Lowkey-richly-festive holiday atmosphere this time of year, too; pretty tree and other decorations. The Anneliese Amber beer was excellent; the free popcorn was remarkably fresh and crispy/crunchy/satisfying without the heavy flavor-dusting I often find. Since they were sold out of the Artisan Cheese Board (my first choice in the food offerings), we tried the 12" soft pretzel. It was delightfully fresh and good; obviously delivered straight from the oven, along with two kinds of mustard and a cheese sauce for dipping. In casual observation, I noticed the bartender decanting some red wine between the bottle and the glass; I think that goes a long way in indicating the care they take to present the best, as well as possible.

Not much to say here that hasn't already been said. Say what you will about the atmosphere, the food, the service etc... it may be your thing or maybe it isn't. Who cares? We are fundamentally talking about a BREWERY here and their beer is as good as it gets. This is a world-class brewery making some of the top beers in the whole world, right smack dab in the middle of Warren, MI. 4th Dementia? DRIPA? Raspberry Eisbock? Simcoe Silly? C'mon, are you serious? And that is just the tip of the iceberg! If you are a fan of good, no great, no AMAZING beer, this place deserves nothing less than 5 stars. I Can't wait for them to get their new brewing/bottling facility on Groesbeck up and running so the distribution can truly begin. The world needs more of this beer.

My favorite brewery in Michigan. Always a wide selection of really high quality beer available and free popcorn is nice too :)

In the last several months, Kuhnhenn's has gotten better in almost every way (except for their dire food situation). They finally got real menus that are up-to-date and the service has noticeably improved. I know I ripped on them pretty hard in my last review, but then again--we hurt most the ones we love, right?

As someone who doesn't really enjoy beer (especially bitter ones) I came here because of my SO and had a great experience! The staff was very helpful and friendly. I had a difficult time deciding what drink to order, and the bartenders gave me several recommendations of beers that weren't too bitter. Multiple members of the staff checked up on me periodically and offered samples! I sampled the Les Saisonniers and ordered one. It was good to me, as someone who doesn't particularly enjoy beer, so if you don't enjoy bitter beer, consider sampling/ordering this one. My SO ordered a flight of 5 beers, which is also something to consider if you're indecisive or want to try a variety.
