  Awesome All Around

  The first time I went here was about a year ago, in 2022, and my wife and I both were underwhelmed with their beer and food selection. The brewery has a affinity for "historic" and old-world beer options (hence the name "Archival"), but clearly went overboard on the theme a year ago. Despite the nice ambiance of the place, and really cool looking beer garden, I had no desire to go back because their beer where simply too eclectic and didn't taste good to me.

  This weekend, my wife and I decided to give it another try as it looked like their beer and food menu had grown since we last visited. The weather was amazing outside so we decided to try their outdoor area since we had our dog with us. All of the staff was extremely friendly and provided excellent, fast service throughout this visit.

  The food menu had drastically expanded and has numerous options I really wanted to try. I ended up getting the French dip with fries and both were amazing. The fries were obviously hand cut and were some of the best I've had in a long time. My wife got the Mahi tacos and said they were also very delicious. We were super impressed with the food. You can tell they care about having delicious, high-quality food.

  On the beer side, they still have a bunch of historic style beers which I don't like, but they've also added a good selection of more "normal" styles of beer. I had three 5 oz pours ($2 each) of the Kolsch, West Coast IPA, and the Blonde. All three were very good. Definitely worth coming back for.

  The outdoor beer garden is perfect for those nice Michigan days. Plenty of shade, corn hole, and an overall impressively comfortable layout. They are also VERY dog friendly so it was nice to be able to bring our well behaved puppy with us. We will definitely be coming back a bunch this summer as this place now has the best combination of beer, food, and atmosphere.

  Very welcoming to dogs!

  There were several other guests with dogs as well and the staff was very welcoming. They even have a hamburger just for dogs on the menu that my chihuahua loved.

We dug up 3 pictures of dogs at Archival Brewing.
