Mothfire Brewing

Love the vibe here. If it's busy it can be tricky to find a table but you just roll with it. They have awesome imaginative beers and a nice lil N/A drink menu. The two trucks I've tried, Carozza Pizza and Blue Dog, offer a nice mix of options.The pizzas take a while but it's incredible what the produce out of a little truck. The White Potato and Bacon pizza is legit one of the best pizzas I've ever had. They add honey or something into the mix and it just makes magic.Blue Dog's tots absolutely slap. I enjoyed the KBBQ sausage I had, but it didn't blow me away. I think the dogs need more toppings to be worth the price, either more quantity for the two you choose, or you should be able to choose a third. Intend to explore the dog menu more in the future.Looking forward to more visits here while we can enjoy the weather!

My friends took me to this cool, hip place for locally brewed beers and wood fired pizza. Great space, very modern and industrial aesthetic with ample outdoor seating and an awning to shield from the sun. The crew loved the steeps and sour ales. I opted for the watermelon mock tail, several, in fact. For pizza we had: meatball, green curry, capicola and margherita. They were all excellent, with very thin crust and quality toppings. If you have a large appetite like me, you should split a second pizza with a buddy. The crew is already planning our next tasting here. I suspect it will be great with the upcoming fall weather.

The sour beer was quite delicious. But if you don't like sours or IPAs, then probably best to head elsewhere. Also, if you don't like being comfortable, this is the place for you. The bar is the most uncomfortable I've ever sat at - there is no lip, so you have to turn sideways to get at your drink/food. There isn't much seating inside, so best to go there on a nice day and sit outside. Also, the decor is very unwelcoming and cold.They do have a food truck, and it was just okay. The risotto was dry; the pizza more tasty. But I don't like eating out of tinfoil and using plastic utensils.I would certainly return on a nice day, but otherwise, it isn't a top choice. Bummer, since it's so nice and close to my house.

Our friends recommended this spot to us because we are hazy IPA lovers.... INCREDIBLE RECOMMENDATION! There hazy collection is great and did not disappoint. Miles was taking care of us and gave us some insight on the history of the business and provided some great personal recommendations. We left with 3 - 4 packs and look forward to our next visit.We came on a Sunday and the vibe was not something I would write home about. Their stainless steel esthetic is BEAUTIFUL and they kept it looking clean and polished which I respect! We will definitely be back to visit. I would love to see live music in the summertime with opened doors!

This was our second time visiting and we came for their one year anniversary celebration (aka REVOLVE). We had also come once in the past and had a great experience then too, hence our return. Their drinks are great. As a predominantly seltzer/cocktail drinker, I am a huge fan of their hard seltzer cocktails (and they have NA mocktails as well). They have very limited snacks/food items on their menu but always have a food truck on site (usually artisan pizzas or Mexican). They have plenty of bartenders so ordering at the bar is usually quick and easy. There is indoor and outdoor seating and while it's been busy both times we've come, we have never had trouble finding an open table or sharing a partially open table with another small group. Their outdoor area is pet friendly and there's often a few dogs with their owners. The ambiance is open, busy, and social. For their anniversary celebration there was also a DJ, extra tables, cornhole bags, and some additional food truck vendors. Overall it was another great experience and we look forward to returning soon.

It's so great to have a brewery around this side of Ann Arbor! I live close by so was excited to check them out. Have been back multiple times. Good craft beer, always something new rolling out, and really good food. They have a rotating cast of food trucks and pop ups, with primarily Carozza Pizza and Tacos El Mariachi Loco as consistent ones. The pizza is seriously fantastic. I also really enjoyed when they brought Slow's BBQ in as a pop up. Beer is mostly IPAs, but they also have a handful of others (fruited sours, lights, and amber/darker options this time of year), plus cocktails. They do flights too - 4 5oz pours. Beware - ABVs are generally strong! They have N/A options and mocktails too. Easy parking with plenty of spots. Friendly bartenders. Indoor/outdoor spaces. It's not huge but I haven't had an issue getting a seat/table in the handful of times I've been. Heat lamps are out now as it's gotten colder, not sure if the outdoor space will be fully open through the winter or not. There's a fridge to purchase beer to go as well.

This was a stop on a brewery crawl. One thing we loved was the atmosphere. They have both indoor and outdoor (with heaters) seating. What we liked most is that there weren't a bunch of tv's blaring or super loud music. We were there with friends and really wanted to be able to chat and catch up and Mothfire was the perfect vibe for that. We also liked they have hard seltzer in addition to beer since some in our group aren't beer fans. Both their beer and seltzer were very good. We were a bit concerned about the long line when we arrived but it went super quick, so don't be deterred. They also have food trucks if you want some grub.

Finally tried Mothfire and loved it! Love the modern space and setup they have with indoor/ourdoor "dining". They patio have picnic tables and it's covered so if it's raining you can still enjoy. We were able to bring our dog (dogs welcome on a leash on the patio!). We enjoyed the pizza from the pizza truck and two sour beers. The staff was super nice and friendly to both us and our dog. The location is weird but I love how close to my house it is!

If you venture to Mothfire, do so on a nice day and with no plans to eat food while there. We made the mistake of going on a cold, rainy night. The place was packed, because Ann Arbor is in desperate need of more spaces like this. Our only option was to settle into their outdoor seating. They've tried to make it weather resistant, but overall sitting in the cold on the side of a busy ride just wasn't a vibe. The beer was fine - I'd consider coming back for a beer if the weather was nice. But the pizza menu was shockingly expensive. $13 for what is essentially a cracker with sauce on it was so disappointing. I wasn't a fan of the crust texture - but mostly we found the price absurd. Good wood fired pizza in the States is just hard to find. Eating out is a luxury these days, so I'm not sure we can justify coming back for a full dining experience. TLDR: 3.5/5 for beer. 2/5 for food.

Mothfire Brewing proved to be the perfect setting to catch up with friends recently. It had been a while since we had all gotten together, and one of the group suggested Mothfire. I was intrigued - I had seen the place go up but had not yet been. As I walked up, a food truck was outside, baking up delicious-smelling pizzas. I made a mental note to skip dinner the next time I came so I could take advantage of whatever food truck was there. I ordered a lavender lemonade, and it came in a simple glass with an aluminum straw - love the reusable component! As we chatted, a friendly employee offered to let us move to a larger table to accommodate our group. She chatted for a bit with us, making us feel all the more welcome. I loved the laid back vibe of this place and the friendly staff. Not to mention the food truck outside! I'll be back and bring some new people next time so they can see what all of the fuss is about.
