Kuhnhenn Brewing Company
Microbrewery
in Warren,
Michigan,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 2001
The brewery sits on the corner of Mound and Chicago Road in the old Lutz hardware store which is owned by the Kuhnhenn family. The brothers started homebrewing when Eric went to college and was introduced to it. He brought the hobby home and introduced it to his brother Bret. Bret started selling homebrewing supplies from the hardware store and soon it became more profitable than selling hardware. The hardware component of the establishment did not disappear from the brewery until mid-2006.
The brewery uses converted equipment, the lauter tun was a peanut butter hopper from Quaker Oats cereal, the mash/boil kettle was a yeast starter for a sour dough bread company, their pilot system’s kettle was a 100-gallon coffee maker. They have a six kettle brew on the premises that allows them to make experimental beers.
The beers include Raspberry Eisbock, Winter Wonder Lager, Fourth Dementia, DRIPA and Simcoe Silly. The brothers brew about 80 different beers; most of these beers are small batches made for annual events. Kuhnhenn’s is also known for brewing seasonal and experimental strong beers.
Kuhnhenn Brewing Co. won a gold medal at the a World a Beer Cup for DRIPA (Double Rice IPA).
A satellite brewery (larger than the original, and with increased bottling capacity) has opened at 36000 Groesbeck Highway Clinton Township, Michigan 48035.

12oz bottle from Tavour. Cola brown pour, ring of beige head. Sweet, brown sugar, malty aroma. Taste is sweet, malty, molasses, and incredibly smooth. Notes of plums and fig.
Hint of sour upfront, maybe the lactose has gone bad if that's even possible but the beer was a stable pour and the nose isn't off. Just most of the flavor is long gone besides the sour hint. In case you were curious FlandersNed !
Raspberry, cherry, smooth, quite drinkable now.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear bright light gold with a white head that was rather transient. Aroma is mostly citrus. Body is rather creamy. It's dry and quite bitter. The support is not very malty, so I'm going with the rice.

My 7,700th rating and 770th Top 50 beer. 375 ml wax topped bottle from Tavour. 2023 vintage. Hazy chestnut brown color. Small, creamy beige head dissipates to a thin cap. Aroma of sweet raspberry and cocoa. First sip brings zesty notes of sweet raspberry, chocolate and warming alcohol. Flavors are pretty straightforward. The number one rated Eisbock in the world! 🌎
