Citing its deep beer list (they have more than 70 beers on tap), its wood-panelled interior and its well-informed clientele, Ashley's is included on Draft Magazine's "America's 100 best beer bars" list for the third year running.

Other Michigan bars on the list include Clubhouse BFD in Rochester Hills, Hopcat in Grand Rapids andThe Mitten Bar in Ludington.

The full list of America's best beer bars, divided by geographic region, is available on the Draft Magazine site.

Haven't tried Ashley's yet? You might want to check out their next "tap take-over" on Jan. 22. They'll be featuring the beers of Plymouth's LIberty Street Brewing.

Great beer, and to echo Ignatz above, a great variety from all over to please those of us a little burned out on sediment heavy, overly hop'd, micro/macros.

A well deserved honor. It's even more amazing when you consider the sheer amount of world class beer they have so close to campus. Normally, places of this sort will cater to the popular macro crowd.

True ignatz, Ashley's is going to have some pretty stiff competition soon too when "World of Beer" opens in a couple months: http://bit.ly/aadc-worldbeer
