The editorial take
Broad Leaf Brewery + Spirits operates as a brewpub with its own small-batch distillery, and the drink list reflects that dual identity. Thirteen house beers span fruited sour, lagers, pilsners, pale ales, hazy and West Coast IPAs, and an oatmeal porter, with flights and retail cans available. The spirits section covers vodka, two gins, agave spirit, spiced rum, and a limited-edition bourbon, all made in-house and poured neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. Cocktails draw on those house spirits across 13 named drinks and a four-pour draft flight.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Kumi Lizard, the 2024 World Beer Cup silver medal hazy IPA, or the Chromatic Shatter pale ale if you prefer a lower-ABV flagship. For spirits, the taproom-exclusive Yuzu Gin or West Indian Spiced Rum are the most specific house expressions. The Draft Cocktail Flight samples four current draft cocktails for $25.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a broad house tap list rather than a single-style focus, and spirits drinkers curious about small-batch gin, rum, agave, and bourbon made on site. Groups can split the Draft Cocktail Flight or a beer flight to compare across the menu.
- When should I go?
- A reasonable stop for an afternoon or evening session when you want to compare several house beers or spirits side by side. The draft cocktail flight and beer flights suit a group that wants to sample across categories without committing to full pours of everything.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Beers run $5.50–$9.00 depending on pour size. Spirits by the pour are $7–$11, with retail bottles $20–$74.99 per 750mL. Cocktails are $11–$14, and the Draft Cocktail Flight is $25. Michigan wines are $10 per 5oz pour. Non-alcoholic options are $3.00–$6.50.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The combination of a house brewery and a house distillery under one roof is the defining feature. Six small-batch spirits, including a taproom-exclusive Yuzu Gin and West Indian Spiced Rum, are made on site and also sold by the bottle, while the beer program covers 13 taps and a World Beer Cup silver medal.
