Grizzly Peak Brewing Company opened in August of 1995, and has become a landmark in downtown Ann Arbor. Grizzly Peak is housed in a century-old building with wood floors, tin ceilings and exposed brick walls, which create a warm, casual atmosphere. The progressive menu focuses on fresh ingredients and seasonal features produced in a "from-scratch" kitchen. Families, students, couples and professionals enjoy the aged steaks, fresh fish, BBQ Ribs, hearth-baked pizzas, sandwiches and burgers.
The on-site brewery is a seven-barrel system installed by Alan Pugsly of England. The brick-sided, copper-topped brew kettle faces the sidewalk, and patrons can watch beer being brewed from the street or from inside the dining room.
The recipient of many awards over the past years, Grizzly Peak Brewing Company is one of a kind, and was recently referred to by the Ann Arbor News as "a legend in its own time."
