Rustic Leaf Brewing Company

Service was prompt / friendly and the atmosphere is very chill/ laid back Sadly the bar itself is tucked away and I didn't notice it for over two years of living in the area They aren't open too late so you have to try to make it in earlierTheir food is limited but looked real yummy, they now have food trucks outside so I know that isn't everyone's cup of tea but what they do offer looked delicious!All and all we will be back

This was not our first time here. We visited once before before seeing a movie across the street. It is a very lovely, cozy local spot for very small batch beer. It is in a small strip mall near a movie theater, bowing alley, arcade, ice skating rink, and several restaurants, so a pretty good spot. They seem to have a small but diverse menu of beers and the prices are very reasonable. They also have a food truck/ trailer that has a small menu. I am not sure when that is open, we only came to sample a few drinks.We had the pumpkin spice. I did not taste any pumpkin or any spice. We had a vanilla porter. While it was dark in color, it was fairly light and did not have a vanilla forward taste. We also tried the caramel apple. That one actually had an aftertaste of an actual caramel apple, so that was the winner. The beers seem to be very small batch, so it is probably different each time. The time before the beers seemed to have a better and stronger flavor. As one of the lesser start review stated, if you are really into beers this place might not be on top of the beer game. On the other hand, for a fun local brewery, you will probably have a good time here. I would not rule out coming back and trying more. It was a fun afternoon while the kids were off skating.

My fiancée and I stopped in before a dinner we had scheduled later that night. Never having been here we had no expectations, but the owner was an awesome guy to talk to and the ambiance and beer is great. We will be back for trivia in the future!

Hidden gem in the Waterford area! Great beers, especially for a local business. The triple ripple sour was excellent, and my husband loved his newbies ipa. If you're a craft beer lover, definitely worth a stop!

We had intended on just stopping in here, grabbing a beer and a tagabrew and moving on to Blue Skies for an 80s party. However, our plans sure did change haha. This was my first time here. When we arrived we thought they were closed. Boy were we shocked when we walked in! It was totally packed! We quickly realized why! TRIVIA!!! Pre pandemic we played trivia at least once a week for the past 9 years! But then the pandemic hit and we have only played a few times since. Apparently this was the first night of trivia returning and the place was bustling with excitement! We found seats at the bar, and settled in for the rest of the evening. They offer Quizzo trivia there. The host was really fun. We checked out the beer list and I was thrilled to see two ambers offered. I ordered the rusty leaf amber and he got the Amber Waives of Grain. We split a bag of cheese its. I must say, not only was the beer amazingly good, the service was fantastic. Both beer tenders were very attentive, personable and fun! I also loved the atmosphere here. There is quite a large outdoor patio if you are wanting to sit outside. The bar area is pretty big. They had a lot of tables and seating. They had some really large tables for big parties as well. The walls are covered in local artists work which you can purchase. They were all very high quality and beautiful! They do not participate in hop passport but we were happy to grab two tagabrews. This was a marvelous evening! I forgot how much I missed our trivia nights! This is kind of far but if we are in the area we will come back!

My fiancé and I just moved to the Waterford area in July. We first went to Rustic Leaf after viewing our soon-to-be home and we fell in love. It's tucked away in a shopping plaza, but it seems like everyone knows and loves it. We were so charmed by the brews and Doug, the owner, is so nice. We found out they did trivia at 7:30 on Thursday nights and started going regularly. We now have a team and are part of the Mugless Club! (This is because their mug club is full, but you still get a mug to enjoy your beer from.) They also have an incredible food truck that offers sliders, sides, personal pizzas, apps, and soon there will be dessert. Rustic Leaf definitely makes Waterford feel like home.

Such a cool little quite brewery tucked away into a shopping center. I truthfully drove right by it even with the gps! So keep a out look for it! The gentleman behind the bar was so polite and welcoming, he didn't make me feel rushed! Ordered a flight so I could try alittle of each! I have to say there basic lager "Justin Peeber" was truthfully my favorite!!! Everything was delicious!

Love this place!! The atmosphere is super cozy and they always have new and fun brews to try. The food truck also has a great and rotating menu that is always delicious! All of the employees are very welcoming and keep your glass full!

Why is 5 stars all. The Rustic Leaf food truck deserves way more. In the past we have done wing challenges with our family testing wings from all over Metro Detroit. Hands down the wings tonight were the best we have ever had. Crisp coating and moist chicken that was amazing. We had the Garlic Parm and Honey Siracha and we were amazed at the quality. The staff is friendly and combined with Jared at the bar they are a combination that cannot be beat. Thanks Doug, still the best.

The owner is super hot and his wife may know karate!also, there is a hidden piñata in the brewery filled with old 1980s He-Man toys.Can you find it?Best Beer in the state.I'm a pilot.
