What Detroit's weather means for breweries
January averages a high of only 32°F in Detroit, so the winter shelf needs heavyweight hoodies and cuffed beanies in depth, and a gift crewneck for the holidays. Patio season is May to September, with average highs of 70°F and up; time a fresh tee and cap release for its first weeks. About 30 inches of rain and melted snow a year still leaves room for summer patio releases, so save the outdoor launches for the warm months and keep winter releases at the bar. Snowfall near 45 inches a year keeps a beanie behind the bar selling all winter, and a winter seasonal beer can carry its own design on a crewneck. About 112 nights a year fall to freezing, enough to keep hoodies and crewnecks in front from late fall into spring.

Ordering from Detroit
When should a taproom in Detroit lean on tees and caps instead of fleece?
Fleece is the main event: highs stay under 65°F from October to April, so hoodies and beanies lead most of the year, and tees and caps take the front only in the summer months.
