A new chapter in Grosse Pointe Woods’ craft beverage scene has arrived with the opening of Someday Brewing, the city’s first-ever meadery and microbrewery. What began as a hopeful answer—“Maybe someday”—has evolved into a vibrant gathering place where quality, community, and craft intersect.
A Dream Years in the Making
For years, the founders of Someday Brewing fielded the same question from friends, neighbors, and fellow brewers: “When are you opening your own place?” The reply was always the same: “Maybe someday.” That day has come.
With over a decade of brewing experience and numerous awards, the family-run team has brought their vision to life in the heart of Grosse Pointe Woods. Backed by a tight-knit support system of friends turned “framily,” the owners have created an intimate, small-scale craft experience that stands apart from mass-market breweries.
A Unique Focus on Mead and Beer
While the brewery’s IPAs, stouts, and lagers are expertly crafted and worthy of any beer lover’s praise, mead is where Someday Brewing truly shines. As the oldest alcoholic beverage in human history, mead is enjoying a modern-day renaissance, and Someday Brewing is leading the way locally.
Their mead offerings span both traditional honey-based styles and melomels—a type of mead fermented with fruit for an added layer of complexity. Patrons can explore a rotating selection ranging from light and crisp 4% ABV session meads to bold, wine-like 18% ABV sippers. Most meads are still (uncarbonated), though specialty batches may feature gentle bubbles.
For the uninitiated, tastings at Someday Brewing double as educational experiences. Guests can learn the rich history and science behind mead while enjoying its modern expressions.
Built on Community
At the heart of Someday Brewing is a deep love for community. The team has installed a “Wall of Fame” inside the brewery to recognize everyone who helped bring their dream to life. This personal touch reflects their mission to build more than a beverage business—they’re building a hub where locals can gather, connect, and relax.
Their focus on small-batch, artisanal production means offerings rotate regularly, giving customers a reason to return again and again. Guests are encouraged to check the brewery’s website for the current tap list and look out for returning favorites.
