Blue Tractor was a decent visit as we had an hour to kill after a wedding. The interior was pretty cool, with a lot of exposed wood and 'farmy' kind of feel to the style (well, as much as you can get in a college town).

My main complaint was the lack of detail around their beer. I sat at a table and couldn't see tap handles. The menu barely had any description (didn't even list everything on tap) and when I ordered the sampler it was hard to tell the beers apart (since they weren't all listed in the menu). Part of that might have been due to the server not taking time to talk up the beers, but this was the first time I've been to a place that brews their own beers and they didn't talk them up. The beers were pretty average.

The food was decent. Pretty good selection and I wish I could have tried the BBQ. I guess I had high hopes of combining beer and BBQ together, but Blue Tractor should do more to promote their beer.

Located on the main drag in downtown Ann Arbor. Close to a parking garage. They had 6 brews on tap when I went. Brews were good, but could have used a bit more hops. Food was decent. Briscuit was nice and tender and it came with 4 different BBQ sauces. The chipolte wings were so so and the blue cheese that came with them was really funky. Servicers were great. The place is a older design with wooden walls and pictures of farm equipment. I recommend stopping in for a drink but walking down the street to grizzly peak for food.

Decent place, located in downtown Ann Arbor on the U of M Campus. Basically across the street from Arbor Brewing, so its a great opportunity two hit two in a night. Parking available in a garage with reasonable pricing, also some on street parking available.

Pretty ordinary beer options - blonde, IPA, stout, amber ale and belgium. Tried the stout, it was decent, not something I'd go out of my way for however.
