Doors open on new Jolly Pumpkin brewery in Ann Arbor

here is one more place to drink a microbrew or two in downtown now that Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales has opened the doors on its new Ann Arbor location.

The Dexter-based craft brewery took over the old Peppers bar space at 311 S Main St. The focus is decidely on food, but there will be some beer brewed onsite in a small three-barrel brewing system.

"It's really cool," says Daemon Jefferies, head of packaging at Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales. "The food is really good. They have one of the best burgers I have ever had."

The new space offers two floors of seating for up to 160 people indoors, including two bar areas and a room in the back for private parties. There will also be a roof-top deck and patio area with additional seating. The deck is set to open later this fall.

The locally famous microbrew's Dexter operations are for production only. Most craft breweries combine both a restaurant and production brewery. There are plans to add a tap room to the Dexter facility later this year to accommodate tourists who want see where most of the beer is brewed.
