Kick off the brew hop at 11 a.m. with a sample flight. Start with 5-ounce pours from five of the 20+ beers on tap. With titles like "Mr. Orange", "Happy Colored Marbles", and the oatmeal raisin "Autonomous Unit", the sampler lets you solve the "Enigma" (also one of their beers) of multiple names.

Continue your tour by going west on Lake St. Turn left onto Red Arrow Highway and drive south 3.31 miles.

Plan on spending a bit of time at this hangout to appreciate the food, fascinatingly named brews and the company among you.

In the Taproom, taste up to six 6-ounce samples or order a pint (at the Taproom or Annex) based on what most expresses your alter ego (Brother Benjamin Imperial IPA, Party Wolf IPA). Have the kitchen fix you a four meat BBQ platter or another delicious meal or snack to go with your pint picks.

Head northeast to visit ...

Those looking to sit down with their friends over a handcrafted brew and a locally inspired, made-from-scratch menu, will find the Public House in downtown Baroda perfect for their plan. The brewery has its carefully-crafted brews on tap along with Round Barn wine and spirits! If you passed on food choices at Greenbush, Public House’s menu includes the fan-favorite beer cheese and classic pizzas that have become a staple of the Public House.

Travel slightly more than 9 miles north for tonight's dinner destination. Go north on First St. which becomes Stevensville Baroda Rd. Turn a slight right onto Cleveland Ave., then right onto W. Marquette Woods Rd. Turn left onto Scottdale Rd., then left onto M-139.

The Buck isn't a brewery, but the 74 beer varieties on tap make it a worthy addition to this itinerary. Arrive any time after 11:30 a.m. and get a pint as you choose from a mouthwatering menu of burgers with some phenomenal co-star toppings like the raspberry-jalapeño jam and cream cheese on the Thornburger or the Michigan apple slices on the turkey Harvest Burger. Choices of salads, shareables and sandwiches make their food menu as generous as their beer list.

Your chariot awaits beneath 1,000 glimmering lights. If a chariot isn't your thing, there are horses, a tiger, a bear and a clown fish among the menagerie of 48 hand-carved, hand-painted figures and two chariots on this magnificent carousel. Adults definitely spin smiles riding round and round. Open all year. Tokens: $3 each/2 for $5.

Return to your car and take M-63 N/Main Street over the St. Joseph River and hang a slight right toward Whitwam Dr. Turn right towards Graham Avenue and go left to follow Graham to North Shore Drive, which turns into Fifth Street. The brewery will be past Park Street on your right.

This former horse stable opened as a brewery in 2005, serving beer (80 styles annually) just as adventurous as the trailblazers of the early 1900s. Locals and visitors are satisfied year-round with staple brews like the popular McGilligan's American IPA, but the arrival of seasonal and specialty beers constantly revamp the menu. Who knows what masterpieces they'll have on tap when you get here? Food is served.

To reach the final stop of your day, go south on Fifth St. Turn left onto E. Main St./I-94 Bus. E. Turn left onto N. Fair Ave., right onto Territorial Rd., then left onto Euclid Ave. Turn right onto Red Arrow Hwy. (Red Arrow will periodically change names to W. Saint Joseph St.) then left onto N. Main.
