The Beer Traveller

Great Lakes Brewing Company has their brewpub & brewery within a stone’s throw of each other, but not on the same block. There’s a parking lot over by the brewery w/ ample (paid) parking.  The brewpub appears to have 3 separate & distinct areas to get your swerve on.  An inside which I never did make it to, the outside patio that sits out front, & the beer garden. The beer garden is of course where you would have found the Beer Traveller & in my opinion was the best spot.  It was located behind the patio & to the side of the building.  It was basically a little courtyard w/ retractable awning roofs & a stone fireplace.

Although Great Lakes was one of the nicer facilities I’ve visited on this trip, their beers were average.  My guess is they went the safe route; meaning nothing too extreme, which means less likelihood of an undrinkable, but also less likelihood of an Exceptional.  Not much else to say other than good beer selection, nice place, good service, & acceptable beers.
