Every now and then I like to pack up the mini Weber, some eats, and a whole bunch of booze and head over to Detroit for a Tigers game. Unfortunately I have no pictures of the food I cooked because of that booze. Enough talking, I have photos.

Atwater Brewery – Dirty Blonde
From the desks of Simon-in-five-TV…
While “batching it” this past weekend I had a chance to pop into the Atwater Brewery in Detroit at 237 Jos Campau…almost to the river off Jefferson just a couple of blocks north of downtown proper and across from the Ratlesnake club. Besides being in the gritty warehouse district, this hometown gem of a micro-brewery is in a very cool old building and is quite an experience…very cool. They have many seasonal choices as well as their normal offerings but I elected to go with my fave, Dirty Blonde…imagine that!!
This beer is one of the seasonals and is made with unmalted wheat, coriander and orange peel…not having the pallet of a micro-brew-geek I cannot say I would be able to identify these ingredients by drinking it, but this beer is fantastic. It kind of makes Oberon sit back and wish it was born in the City of Detroit!…oooooh, no I didn’t!!
I think beer is meant to be tasted not only by the mouth but also by the location and the company you are in…in this case I was enjoying a bit of peace by myself, talking some smack with the bartender and just taking in the history of the area. That said, that one pint of summertime in a glass was worth the stop…you won’t be disappointed.

Sweetwater Tavern – World’s Best Wings
Looking for the best wings in the country? Look no farther than Sweetwater Tavern in Detroit, MI. We stumbled in here after a long night in Greek Town and the Casino and were amazed by the food they are serving for reasonable prices.
Seriously, the wings are off the jam. The very best, ever. These aren’t your normal Bdubbs wings. These are the real deal Holyfields. Tasty and thru to the bone. They aren’t saucy, and we barely had any remains on our hands afterward. The taste is very hard to explain. Kind of a jerk taste with a tangy twist.
The wings are delivered every morning on ice from the Eastern Market, and then marinated in their spices and good old fashioned love rub for 24 hours. We begged our waiter to share their secret with us, but he would only tell us that the long marination time made most of the flavor. I told him to make them spicy, and they did not disappoint. You can still taste the wings long after you finish them, and the smell of the delicious sauce will stay on your hands for hours.
The quality of the images might be a little poor. The bottom two were taken at about 1:45 AM after a looooooong night.
