We didn't put a dent in the 700-plus beers on offer at the Michigan Brewers' Guild's Detroit Fall Beer Festival, but we tasted some good brews during the first night Friday. Here's a few to seek out if you head there today.

The festival is sold out today, but you might get lucky on social media or maybe someone's selling tickets they can't use at the gate. You could also take this list with you to your favorite craft beer store and see what's available.
