eaglemonk pub and brewery

matt and melissa got this book of like every brewery in michigan and the goal is to hit as many of them as possible this summer.  they decided we should start early and we went to eaglemonk a few weeks ago because it's right around the corner.

don't go here for the food.  we got panini and it was basically white bread with some meager filling and not much flavor.  i can't even remember what kind of panini i got which is like totally unheard of for me.  it was that unmemorable.

what you should come here for is the beer and the atmosphere.  i also can't remember what kind of beer i had (ok full disclosure... we were at zoobie's before and i drank some ridiculous 13% beer and everything after that is a little fuzzy).  the mugs hanging from the ceiling are made by a local artist and they are amazing and you can buy one and keep it there and then just get refills whenever you go.  i wanted one but melissa was like "just buy one of those at an art fair this summer and it will be cheaper and you can keep it" and i was like "oh ok good idea."

it's mostly just locals hanging out and most of them seem like regulars.  i wouldn't necessarily go out of your way for it, but it's definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.  there's also a room in back with like shuffleboard or ping pong or foosball or something if the beer isn't enough entertainment for you.  clearly it was enough for me...
