Copper Canyon is a big brewery/restaurant in Southfield and has a trendy casual atmosphere which features tall ceilings and a big stone fireplace. It wasn't too crowded when we were there. Sorry the photos are dark, but it was a dark day in a dark place. 
They have a very affordable sampler which included almost all of their beers (7) and included a sample of their root beer, Root 696.

Let's talk about the food. As per usual, we ordered the chicken nachos. Copper Canyon should get extra points for making a typical bar appetizer very tasty - it featured multi-colored chips, jalapenos, tasty chicken, and real cheese (Tim has an aversion to that fake 'nacho cheese').
Food Ratings - Chicken Nachos
A] Excellent, homemade salsa - 9/10T] All jalapenos, no beans - 7/10
All in all, the rootbeer was our favorite but there were a lot of good things here at Copper Canyon and the atmosphere is certainly classy yet comfortable.
