The time has come to talk to you about our favorite Brew Pub, Jolly
Pumpkin.
We discovered their wonderful
mirco- brews years ago, and found them available at some of the local
stores. The brewery is located just west
of Ann Arbor in the Village of Dexter. They
craft wonderful tart ales, and have won awards throughout the years for some of
their special blends.

about the Brewery: http://www.jollypumpkin.com/artisanales/beers.htm
Oh, and they
are also a Distillery, crafting their own Vodka, Gin, and Rum (to name a few).
Located on Main Street in
Downtown Ann Arbor is the Jolly Pumpkin Café & Brewery. There is seating in the main room along with
the bar, the Upstairs along with a bar, and in the summer there is rooftop
seating. They offer a Lunch and Dinner
menu, along with specials for Lunch, Dinner, and weekend Brunch.
We have tried almost everything on
the menu, from every category.
Appetizers are wonderful if
there are just two of you, or a full party table. Small delicious bites with the locally
sourced Farmer’s Frittos is always a good choice, but with extra friends going
for a Butcher Board is a diverse way to go.
Squash Frittos
Salads, Pizzas, and Sandwiches …
Oh My! Don’t forget to check out the
specials!
It is hard to pick out a
favorite at the Pumpkin, dish is crafted so well. One of Rob’s favorites is the Fire and Smoke
pizza. I have learned to recreate a similar
pizza at home, but this one still rains supreme.
I tend to surf the menu at lot,
I love trying new things. Getting a
chance to enjoy a short run special is always a treat. During the summer I got to have the Steak
Special with a Korean BBQ sauce.
There is plenty of food so take
some home, just remember to reheat it in the oven for the best flavor. Preheat to 350’ and cook tray of
deliciousness for about 12-15 minutes.
This will help you save room for some dessert. You can go light with a scoop of their
amazing Vegan Ice Cream (they use coconut milk), or enjoy something warm like a
cobbler or the Ricotta Fritters (they make their own fruit reduction of
course).
