Traffic Jam & Snug - Detroit, MI

July 25th, 2008

Traffic Jam helps give some street beer cred back to Michigan.  They hold the 1st brewpub license in Michigan & the quality has obviously kept them going. The downside is that they only had 4 beers to try.  Ok, maybe a couple of downsides.  The other, sitting outside & getting hustled by Detroit street walkers/crack addicts/& meth heads.  It really wasn’t too bad & it gave Melissa & I the opportunity to keep an eye on the Beer Travelln’ mobile.
Service, food, & Beer were great.  The Centurion was a Belgian Style Grand Chu that was in honor of the brewer’s 100th barrel of beer brewed.  The Doppelbock was Exceptional, extremely smooth with a hint of richness.  Inside looked to have less atmosphere, but more room than outside. It should also be noted that Traffic Jam has their own dairy & bakery.  They make most of their food on-site, including salad dressings, ice cream, breads, desserts, & of course Beer.  Overall I would say there probably isn’t much else worth anything in Detroit.  So if you have to be in Detroit, than you may want to make a pit stop @ the Traffic Jam & Snug.
