FENTON, Mich - The French Laundry Café & Market in Fenton has made a major commitment to the Great Lakes State, with the recent announcement that it will be pouring exclusively Michigan draft beer from here on out.
"The Laundry is proud to feature fresh craft beer from local Michigan micro-breweries," says bartender Jon Foley. "We'll regularly rotate our nine pulls with seasonal pulls such as Whitsun - our mainstay summer beer."
"We believe Michigan makes the best beer in the country and now there's finally going to be a place to get consistent Michigan draft in Genesse County."
According to Hamel, the French Laundry is more than an eatery. "For me, it has always been an opportunity for me to share, one-on-one or in our classes, what I have learned, discovered and come to appreciate about
amazing foods and beverages - and especially those made right here in Michigan," he says.
The first major Michigan beer event at The Laundry will be in July, in conjunction with their Bastille Day 5k/15k run for Habitat for Humanity. July is also Michigan Craft Beer Month, as designated by the Michigan
Brewers Guild.
Mark Hamel spent a year studying in Paris during his college career at Michigan State University. He had long planned to open a restaurant and says he wanted something with a French name, but not necessarily a
French-influenced menu. He purchased a building at 125 W. Shiawassee Avenue at Adelaide in Fenton - a former laundry building - and in 1997, The French Laundry was born.
Known for its large plates of American food and an amazing beverage list, The French Laundry features several dining options and an open-air kitchen that allows guests to observe the culinary artistry that takes place on a
daily basis.
Featuring a variety of bakery and deli offerings, The Laundry serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week - including a kids' menu and a full catering menu. Classes, focused on a variety of food and beverage themes, are also offered on a regular basis.
The casual market setting features Zingerman's breads as well as fresh pastries and deserts. A second casual seating area offers high ceilings and 1950s kitchen-style vinyl-topped tables. The dining room, added nearly five years ago, includes a bar stocked with everything from boutique beers and wines and an array of single malt Scotches and Irish whiskeys.
