Established in 1995, Grizzly Peak has become a local favorite in Ann Arbor. Its convenient location right off of Main Street allows it to be a favorite for locals and students alike. Whether you are there for their Cheddar Ale soup or one of their nine locally brewed beers, Grizzly Peak provides their award winning dining. As they are the top-producing brew pub in Michigan, Grizzly Peak takes pride in their locally brewed beers. They distributed over 1600 barrels in Michigan last year alone!

Additionally, they are known for several award winning beers including their Bear Paw Porter which won a silver medal in the World Beer Cup in 2006. Favorite beers among customers include the Steel Head Red and the Grizzly Peak Pale Ale. Grizzly Peak also is host to many special events throughout the year. For example, they host a Brewer’s Night every Tuesday where patrons can come in a tour the brewery. However, two of the biggest events are their Oktoberfest event and Polar Beer Day. Oktoberfest this year was held September 19th as they shut down the entire street right outside the restaurant and helped raise money for UM’s Comprehensive Cancer Center. Polar Beer Day is normally held in mid-February where customers can get 25cent beers as long as they sit outside.

Devoted customers can become part of the Mug Club which offers a lifetime membership for only sixty dollars as you get two dollars off every beer you order. Beers are also served in a larger mug than usual and a free t-shirt is also thrown in. Being part of the Mug Club also gives you opportunities for specials throughout the year.  A membership also allows you to enter the “Brew Off” as members can brew their own beer and the best brew gets their beer served at Grizzly Peak for a night. There are over 1700 Mug Club members as it is touted as the “best deal in Ann Arbor.” 

Grizzly Peak is an Ann Arbor favorite for not only their beers however, as menu items such as the Cheddar Ale soup and Brewery Steak Sandwich are hugely popular items with patrons. Known for their burgers as well, Grizzly Peak is always switching up their menu as they rotate deals such as pasta and a pint and burger and a brew. The food, brews, and surroundings make Grizzly Peak an Ann Arbor favorite. So stop in and have a beer with friends or take the whole family for a delicious dinner!
