ROSEDALE — Forthcoming brewpub Rosedale Beer & Bistro has pushed back its opening timeline to spring 2018 due to some “unexpected” delays. The restaurant, which was a semifinalist in the 2017 Hatch Detroit competition, will focus on “American-style and Southern” food with between 10 and 12 beers on tap. [EaterWire]
