Gilman brewing has a good selection of beer that isn't limited to IPA's like other breweries. The staff is friendly and they have good indoor and outdoor areas. The real secret here is the pizza which is out of this world good. Make sure you get one!

One of my favorite breweries to go to because of the expansive beer selection (I love the guava sour) and Joyride Kitchen making Detroit style pizzas in the space! The vibe is the perfect amount of laidback and cozy. There is always plenty of seating indoors and on benches outside. This will always be my go to brewery whenever I want to grab a beer!

Enjoyed our visit here--fine brewery with some strong beers. I particularly appreciated the diverse beer styles and many taps/offerings--love a brewery with different styles, and this place delivers on that. I did a flight here, and their black haze IPA, Missouri lean triple IPA and Gilman farmhouse were all impressive offerings. Their pineapple jardin sour and Push Rod porter were less successful (for me). Fun but feisty vibe in the interior--so many breweries I visit have a family vibe, but this was more city/keep it to yourself, which I do respect. And in fairness that might be more clientele than the brewery. A couple of people were there with dogs that my stepson wanted to play with, but were clearly not to be interacted with or trifled with. Wish they had more food options (just chips and snacks as far as we could see) and were a tad more interactive, but the beer is solid and the vibes low-key, and that's a pretty solid starting point for a brewery.

I came here for the brews and fell in love with the pizza! I promise my judgement was not compromised after 3-4 beers (who's counting anyways). But for reals, the best deep dish I've had in a while, much better than those guys that make square pies. Come for the brews and stay for the pizza, sit inside or outside. Do it however you like it. Hidden gem you won't want to miss

Mmmm if you're looking for a warm pan fried, cheesy pizza - this is your spot! The pizza was so fresh and I love that they had a wide variety of unique pizzas to choose from. Gilman also has plentiful nice outdoor and indoor seating options.

Great night out, in many ways. First off, it's a nice site. Outdoor seating, indoor quieter area, ordering by the brew tanks, and venue. From there, let's break it down. Beer! Lots of beer. I had a blackberry cider (crisp, tasty without overly sweet), a random beer (I don't know. My friend handed it to me. It tasted like beer), and a Raddler's something (already drunk when I ordered, but it was a German style beer with lemon, very lemon forward so good as a refresher but probably not for the hoppy beer enthusiast)). Cheers! Pizza! Detroit style, apparently. It's deep dish but more risen than typical deep dish. I've seen it called Sicilian style too. Tasty. Filling. Crazy combos. I had the pesto chicken and bacon one, which I was too hungry to take a picture of, but it was really good. Events! They host a ton of stuff and a variety. I was there to see LoveSlaughter, a fun local rock band. Looks like they have music, art, comedy, trivia, and all sorts of fun. I salute them for it and hope to check out more events.

Stopped at 3 breweries before finding the right one :-). What a great spot - it's huge with a great staff and a huge variety of beers on draft. We got the Sweet Pear Pineapple Pizza. Pizza is Detroit style - very, very good! 5/24/24 update: such a sweet spot to stop at on our way home. Just beer this visit. Good vibe. Delicious scents (pizzas). New menu! Thoroughly enjoy this spot.
