The Story of a Dollar

Closed for the Season

Dominick's is a great restaurant serving locals and students in the spring, summer, and fall.  They've recently closed for the season leaving us eager for warmer weather when we can gather to indulge in sangria and "Constant Buzz" by mason jars. 

Dexter Cider Mill

Fall has officially come and gone, but we were certain to get a couple visits into our favorite local cider mill.  The Dexter Cider Mill is a must-stop for locals, visitors, and bicyclists galore!

If you haven't had a chance to visit, this Friday, November 26, 2010 will be your last chance this season!  Enjoy!

Wolverine State Brewing Co.

I've been waiting for Wolverine State Brewing Co. to open and was excited to go to the grand opening last night. The tap room is located in the old Big George's warehouse (you townies know where that is!) and I was impressed with the seven beers available. My fave was the Wench's West Side Wheat. It was a smooth, mellow wheat ale that came highly recommended by others I feel will be regulars!

The space is large with a viewing area of the beer production; a large l-shaped bar; a sitting area with couch, coffee table and chairs; and an area for foosball and darts (against a backdrop of the state of Michigan).

The pub's main focus is beer. If you want food it's bring-your-own.

I'm giving it a high-five and hope to take the better half of A2 Townies, my mom, for a beer soon!!

Cheers!
