About Brown Iron Brewhouse Washington Township

Brown Iron Brewhouse Washington Township is a brewpub and smokehouse in Washington, Michigan. This location was established in 2015 and is the heart of the Brown Iron smokehouse tradition. Brown Iron is a locally owned, family-run restaurant that is independent, not a chain.

The bar is built around draft beer. The taps rotate daily with stouts, IPAs, porters, sours, ciders and meads, and there are over 60 beers on draft. Brown Iron also brews its own beer in small batches.

The kitchen smokes pulled pork, brisket, beer-can chicken and bacon each day. The menu also has ground brisket burgers, house-made pretzels and a large gluten-free range. Brunch is served on Saturdays and Sundays, and there is a kids menu.

Each week brings a tap showcase, a beer education night or a beer and food pairing. Groups can also book parties, from showers and birthdays to business meetings.
