Ales, porters, stouts, shandys, fruit beers and other craft brews are due to start flowing in March at an Ohio transplant coming to John R and Alfred Streets in Brush Park, just north of downtown Detroit.
Saucy Brew Works, born in Cleveland four years ago, is building out a 5,700-square-foot space at City Modern, a Bedrock mixed-use development open since mid-2018. It will be the startup's fourth pub and the first outside its state.

In addition to its brewmaster's distinctive draft and canned beer, a Saucy Coffee bar will have house roast, pour-overs, espresso and specialty items "inspired by Saucy beers." A light menu features wings, sandwiches, thin-crust pizza, salads and shareables such as meatballs, roasted cauliflower and Bavarian pretzels.
♦ Update: A reader comments on Reddit: "I've gone to the Cleveland one and their chicken wings are amazing. Honestly, really excited for this place to open for the beer, but mostly for the chicken wings."
"We love Detroit and what is going on here as it has a similar vibe to our hometown in Cleveland," co-owner Brent Zimmerman is quoted as saying in a release Tuesday. March 3 is the opening target, three months later than originally planned.
City Modern residents get a 20-percent discount. The limited-menu pub with 192 seats is the eight-acre devlopment's first restaurant.
The company expects to hire more than 30 employees, including about two dozen full-timers, manager Bill Bowers tells Crain's Detroit Business.

March also will include beer glasses, caps and other garments.
