Quay Brewing - Port Huron, MI

Coming from Buffalo, it made most sense to drive through Canada to get to Grand Rapids. Our first stop was right after the Canadian border into Michigan at Port Huron at a place called Quay Brewing. It is right near the water, nice view. No parking lot, so we parked in the street but not an issue.  Walking in, the place is a good size, giant bar and tables to the immediate left and a restaurant up and downstairs ahead of us.  As always we chose the bar.
-The bartender was very knowledgeable and even mentioned they have new owners and plan on expanding the selection of beers at the brewery to almost triple what they have now.  We ordered a sampler of ALL their beers and some food.
-For lunch we had fried duck and fried shrimp. Both were VERY tasty and the sauces they came with were delicious.
-As for the beers, the Pilsner was sharp, Raspberry wheat had a really nice after taste of raspberries, Michigan Cream Ale was decent not much to it, Nutting Better brown was decent, Black River stout not bad, Quay Street wheat was good, IPA was different but good, and the Pale Ale had a caramel smell and taste to it...we liked it.
-Not much in the merchandise area...they have pint glasses and a couple t-shirts.
-Overall I would say if you're crossing the border into Port Huron stop in for a beer but I wouldn't make a long drive out to this place.  Food was good, beer was decent, so it's worth a stop if convenient.Check them out...quaybrewing.com/
