History
Founded in 1997, Atwater Block Brewery made its debut in Detroit, Michigan in the historic Rivertown district. The original owner's reasoning and focus was to bring back the Bohemian style lager that Stroh's Brewing Company had made famous in the mid 1800's. The passion for beer started in 1848 when the first mass produced beer was bottled in the Detroit area. Atwater currently holds true to making traditional German style lagers, along with unique boutique ales. Today the brewery is thriving and expanding at its original Joseph Campau location, including a full scale Biergarten and Tap House. We recently opened Atwater in the Park which is located 8 miles from the downtown brewery in a restored church serving unique styles and great food, along with Atwater Spirits and Wine. Atwater in Grand Rapids opened its doors in October 2016 and is located in the renovated Rowe Hotel downtown.
