Well, residents of Ann Arbor certainly ought to love their drink as plenty of glasses are raised everyday at Ashley's Restaurant, with 72 on tap and a collection of over 80 different bottles there is every reason to do so, and add to this repertoire a compilation of over 60 Scotch single malt whiskys including rare bottles from closed distilleries. Now that's what is called a drinking feast!

Talking of feast, the menu is of course designed with the drinks list in mind, so there are aptly titled pub bites such as curried chicken skewers, fried mozzarella cheese sticks and Buffalo wings. A few bites later, tuck into some specialties of the house like jalapeño chicken pasta and a tender 12 oz Stilton grilled NY strip steak, or choose a sandwich that could be built around spent grain bread, Kaiser roll or homemade challah.

Ale festivals and beer classes at Ashley's do much to instill admiration for this much loved drink within the locals.
