About hear.say brewing
hear.say brewing is a microbrewery and comedy theater on W Liberty St in Ann Arbor. Its website describes a taphouse, patio, biergarten and food truck, with an improv theater in a separate enclosed space. You can drink there without seeing a show.
Owner Tony DeRosa previously worked for a decade at Google and YouTube. His stated goal on the beer side is to bring a taste of California to the midwest. He also teaches and performs improv comedy.
The biergarten is grassy, with fire pits and lawn games. The front patio gets the sunshine. Dogs are welcome on the patio and in the biergarten, and kids are welcome with a parent or guardian.
Food comes from Westside Biscuit, and the kitchen closes one hour before closing. Google lists a wheelchair accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating.
