Today is National Drink Beer Day, which means it's the perfect time to share the winners of our Wine, Dine & Craft Brews contest. We asked readers to nominate their favorites, and they overwhelmingly chose Kuhnhenn Brewing Company as their go-to spot for craft beer. Reporter Tiffany Esshaki sat down with brothers Bret and Eric Kuhnhenn at their Clinton Township taproom to find out what makes their beer so special.
Congratulations are also in order for our other winners. Andiamo took the top spot in the Best Upscale Restaurant category, and Michigan By The Bottle Tasting Room won for Best Wine Establishment.
