First time the Guard S550 is featured in this blog.

The City of Detroit and the surrounding area has had a dramatic increase in the amount of micro brew start ups over the last five years or so.  However, as during the Prohibition era, the Detroit area is starting to have a high concentration of distilleries.  So far, I've reviewed two other local distilleries (and more to come), the Detroit City Distillery is the third.

Detroit City is located on the east side of Eastern Market a couple of blocks from the main pavilions.  This area of Riopelle street is narrow and features several establishments with no or discreet signage.  Outside, it gives Detroit City the aura of a speakeasy.  

Inside the decor is urban modern and inviting.  When we were there, I sampled the Path of the Righteous II.  I thought it was very good.  Check out their menu online as, like most distilleries, it changes regularly.  

Detroit Distilleries manufactures their own Homegrown Rye, Bloodline Whiskey, Two Face Bourbon, Gilded Age Vodka & Railroad Gin.  All feature Michigan grown grains. Recently, I noticed that the local Beer & Wine store where I live sells their products, keep on the look out in your area.

There are a lot of cool places in the Eastern Market that are worth visiting.  The Detroit Distillery is high on that list.
