I recently decided to challenge the Ypsi top beer locations, because there’s been a significant change since it was last polled in 2015; the introduction of Cultivate. While Ypsilanti does have a great selection of places to grab a beer, in my opinion the addition of a coffee and brew house really rounded out the list.
Cultivate is unique in a couple of ways; first and foremost they are non-profit and contribute money to combat world hunger. So in case you needed to feel a little bit better about having a beer or coffee, they solved it.
Second is that they’ve taken the idea of draught to both directions, brewing amazing coffee and an extremely well rounded beer list that tops out at 40.
Last is the addition of this amazing patio that they finished this summer.
In the back you’ll find gardens where food is grown and donated. Some cornhole boards too!
Going down to Depot town just became a lot better, as a draft house you can order food from all the local establishments and enjoy the extensive tap list of michigan beers (and beyond). You’ll find a calendar of events posted on a giant chalk board inside, where things like board game night and adult coloring are posted, giving further proof to why this is now my favorite venue.
However, there are no pokestops or gyms within range because it didn’t exist when the data was collected.
