You’re here because you love craft. And we’re here because we love to craft. Every day, we brew beer the way it was meant to be made, full of heart from grain to glass. Independent since day one, our team in Marshall, MI, brings the best out of every ingredient — from the grain and hops to the barrels we use to age our sours — because the easiest thing to taste is imperfection. Enjoy a brew at our beer garden in Marshall or find us across Michigan and Ohio on tap and on shelves.
Admin Note: Originally located in Royal Oak, MI, ROAK closed their original location in 2021 and moved to Marshall, MI after purchasing Dark Horse.

Old-school IPA, with a mix of caramel and Cascade pine coupled with notes of orange, grapefruit zest, and citrus pith. Finishes dry with a hint of yeast. Not bad.

12oz canned 12/8/22, drunk 12/25/23. Fizzy, tan head quickly dissipates. Clear, dark mahogany. A lot more peanut butter cup than either malt or barrel. Is there any barrel here? Doesn't smell like it. A somewhat artificial but not too offensive peanut butter aroma. Not boozey, at least. More artificial peanut butter cup flavoring. Fizzy carbonation and close to no barrel character; maybe a bit of liquor warming on the finish. Medium-bodied, a bit thin for its size. Not grossly sweet, but not all that dry, either. More artificial flavor lingering with drying barrel tannin.
