Atwater Brewery and Restaurant

Brewery tours available. Located in Detroit’s historic Rivertown district, and housed in a 1919 factory warehouse, Atwater Brewery was founded in March of 1997 with the purpose of carrying on the rich history of breweries in Detroit. Our brewing process, however, is over 200 years old. Our imported Kasper Schultz brew house allows us to brew our brands in the true heritage-style of traditional German lagers. And, when we say, “imported brew house,” we mean it! All of our main brewing equipment was brought in from Germany, where precision and passion for beer has its roots. In fact, when we have service calls on our equipment, we call in the Germans! Likewise, we only use the finest malt and hops from Germany to brew our lagers. Our specialty ales, on the other hand, are brewed with only the finest American hops. All of which makes Atwater Beers distinctly fresh and flavorful. Which is exactly why we live by the slogan: “We drink all we can and sell the rest." Our tap room is now located in our brewery space. Stop by for a cold one Tuesday thru Friday from 4-11 pm & Saturday 2 – 11 pm, or Sunday from noon-6PM. You can’t get any food back there, but who needs it when beer is on the menu?
