Dragonmead Brewery is located in Warren, MI. I was first introduced to Dragonmead Brewery
when a friend graciously brought some to a party at our house. Warning….be very careful when consuming
certain types of their beer, some have a higher than average ABV (alcohol by volume). Since experiencing Dragonmead’s beer I have
always wanted to visit the brewery, so I took this opportunity to check it out.

The brewery has beautiful handcrafted features that you may
look over if you aren’t looking for them or if the brewery were extremely crowded. For example the oak wrap around bar that was
completed in sections between 1998-2004.
There are 2 leaded art glass windows one called The Knight’s Window and
the other The Dragon’s Window. Both
windows are beautiful to admire and the craftsmanship shows. The shield mosaic is a 7 square feet mosaic
made of over 7,000 titles, the mosaic houses all the beer taps. For additional
details on all of these handcrafted features see their website at http://bit.ly/1waq9Ms.

The food selection is not the best but according to the menu
the brewery welcomes their guests to bring any food they would like. I have never heard of this before. I mean as a mother of two very different
children I have brought Taco Bell into McDonald’s but never into an establishment
nicer than fast food.

Last but not least….the beer! I have always been extremely
pleased with all the beers I have tried from Dragonmead. And still very happy with the beers I tried
during my visit. My two all-time
favorites are Final Absolution and Under the Kilt.
Dragonmead Brewery is a must try! The brewery was also voted The Best Microbrewery for 2014 by readers of Metrotimes.

I've been there a few times, they have a great selection of beer. You're right also about the ABV content, I've had a couple beers there where one or two will do me in.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Dragonmead in such a long time! I used to live in Clinton Township and when I got married 5 years ago I moved to Novi, so I'm never by Dragonmead. If I do happen to make it over to that side of town, I always go to Kuhnhenns. But I should try to stop at both. I love the Apricot beer Dragonmead makes. I think it's called Castlebrite.
ReplyDeleteI think I may need to make another trip just to try the apricot beer! That sounds yummy!
DeleteI've never been to Dragonmead, but I definitely want to check it out now! I enjoy both beer and wine and because of that, I really do like to try beers that have an ABV more on par with wine. I really like Final Absolution and Soft Parade. If you haven't tried those before, you should give 'em a taste!
ReplyDeleteFinal Absolution is my favorite!
DeleteI'd love to visit Dragonmeand Brewery! They have some potent craft beers.
ReplyDeleteInteresting point about the food!
