River Rouge Brewing Company is the parent company and UCBC is our latest project. The name of UCBC came about reflecting on our journey into this business. After more than 20 years of working in the film industry and having the privilege of meeting outstanding brewers in the San Diego, California area, Edward discovered that beyond being a beer connoisseur he had an unexpected skill: in addition to enjoying a good beer, he could also brew one as well. In case this is the first time you are hearing about RRBC, it was named one of the most amazing nanobreweries in the U.S. by Food & Wine magazine for 2015. The Detroit News Press hailed our Peanut Butter Chocolate Stencel Stout "a must have beer for Super Bowl 2019." And consistently awarded a rating of 4 ½ stars by Yelp and a 4.7 stars by Google rating. Edward continues to be our head brewer, and you can expect to find many of the beers that you enjoyed at RRBC, yes, that means that Peanut Butter Chocolate Stencel stout is on the menu. ## What they brew - Stout / Porter — 33% of the beers we track - IPA — 26% of the beers we track - Other — 14% of the beers we track - Pale Ale — 9% of the beers we track - Pale Lager — 7% of the beers we track - Sour / Other — 6% of the beers we track - Wheat Beer — 5% of the beers we track ## Find them - Address: 14401 West Eleven Mile Road, Oak Park, Michigan, United States - Coordinates: 42.4884504, -83.1903366 - Website: https://unexpectedcraft.com/ ## Breweries nearby - [Dog & Pony Show Brewing](https://finding.beer/brewery/dog-pony-show-brewing-23767.md) — 3.92, Fine — Oak Park, Michigan — 2 mi away - [Lily’s Seafood Grill & Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/lilys-seafood-grill-brewery-4393.md) — 3.49, Poor — Royal Oak, Michigan — 2.2 mi away - [The Royal Oak Brewery](https://finding.beer/brewery/the-royal-oak-brewery-4427.md) — 3.47, Poor — Royal Oak, Michigan — 2.4 mi away - [Roak Brewing Co.](https://finding.beer/brewery/roak-brewing-co-1743.md) — 3.83, Fine — Royal Oak, Michigan — 2.6 mi away - [Urbanrest Brewing Company](https://finding.beer/brewery/urbanrest-brewing-company-1480.md) — 4.35, Great — Ferndale, Michigan — 3.5 mi away - [Woodward Avenue Brewers](https://finding.beer/brewery/woodward-avenue-brewers-3408.md) — 3.51, Poor — Ferndale, Michigan — 3.5 mi away - [Ferndale Project](https://finding.beer/brewery/ferndale-project-32853.md) — 4.34, Great — Ferndale, Michigan — 3.5 mi away - [Griffin Claw Brewing Company](https://finding.beer/brewery/griffin-claw-brewing-company-3669.md) — 3.87, Fine — Birmingham, Michigan — 3.8 mi away ## Rankings this brewery appears in - [Best breweries in Michigan](https://finding.beer/breweries/united-states/michigan.md) - [Best breweries in United States](https://finding.beer/breweries/united-states.md) --- Finding Beer scores breweries on the beer they brew rather than on the venue.
