7 must-visit bars of Traverse City
"An off-the-wall brewery that uses such bizarre ingredients as pig heads, fruit pies and asparagus, this art-bedecked place — which also includes a hair salon — is unforgettable. On our recent visit, we tried a lemon beer that owner and head brewer Russell Springsteen was testing. The recipe included lemon zest as well as juice, and it was delicious — a refreshing, more-natural-tasting departure from the uber-sweet shandies (lemonade mixed with beer) that have been rising in popularity."

"With a passion for brewing beer and cutting hair, Russell Springsteen combined both with Right Brain Brewery and the hair salon next door in 2007. Located in a large warehouse on East 16th Street, this innovative Traverse City microbrewery has an industrial style and family-friendly atmosphere. It hosts more than 150,000 patrons every year, and there are at least 30 beers on tap all the time."
