FOOD & DRINK: Sherwood Brewing

Ever want to find that perfect place to grab a drink and unwind after another day of pushing buttons and making other people more money than you?  Well, make you way over to Sherwood Brewing Company in Shelby Township, Michigan.  They serve only the finest hand-crafted beer, wine, and sodas, all made on-site in their brewing facility, clearly visible through the looking glass.  (Yes, growlers a-plenty to take home too!)

If you think the ego is thick over there, and that you need to know what the hell you’re talking about when it comes to trying new beers or wines, trust me when I say that the friendly staff is more than welcoming and willing to answer any and all questions you might have.  If you’re able to catch either of the owners, Ray or Lisa Sherwood, or Corey, the Brewer and Manager, they will always give you their time and make you feel at home.  It literally feels like you are at a Friends house just having some drinks and laughs.

Not to be considered just a brewery, Lisa and Corey hold nothing back when it comes to their rock-solid menu.  It’s not pompous or pretentious, but rather more along the lines of artistic comfort food.  There is something for everyone.  My god, they even make their own homemade gelato with their beer and wine…and it’s xxxx-ing fantastic!

PROJECT: Lisa, Corey and I collaborated on a photoshoot to try and cover a portion of some NEW menu items as well as some NEW brewery images for future marketing needs.  Click on the Gallery above to see a selection from the photoshoot.  If they inspire you to check out Sherwood Brewing Company in person, then I will consider my efforts, and Sherwood’s, a success.  And tell them I sent you.

Please contact me if you are looking for new imagery of your menu items, interiors, or just ambiance.  I would love to work with you to share your passions.

This is by far my favorite time of the year in Michigan because the weather starts getting colder, the nights get longer, Hallow’s Eve is just around the corner and the Damned Exhibition at the Tangent Gallery/Hastings Ballroom in Detroit opens its doors!  If you ever get an opportunity to attend this 3 day event, do it.  It’s a cerebral and visual overload run by some very passionate Artists and Performers.

Having attended since the original Damned Exhibition 8 years ago, each year progressively grows in quality.  From a photographers viewpoint, as you will see from my Gallery below, it is a beautiful evening of dark and enlightened performance art.  I actually get excited when the middle of October rolls around knowing what’s ahead.
