Currently Jolly Pumpkin is only open to the public on Fridays, from 12-6pm. We made a pilgrimage here for the release of Perseguidor batch 4.

They conduct brewery tours, call for info, i've never been outside of special release days. The brewery itself is very small, when you walk in, many rows of oak barrels are visible in the back of the brewery, and pallets in the front. There is a small retail area that displays available beers and a small corner with assorted clothing swag, mainly shirts and hoodies. They have a cooler for beer also. Prices are very affordable and in some cases below retail. They have their current seasonals and the occasional brewery-only releases available. Service is always friendly, and they will answer any beer questions you have. Dexter is a short trip from Ann Arbor, and a not-so-short trip from Chicago (in my case), but definitely worth it!
