In 2014, a visionary entrepreneur purchased a building with the intention of transforming it into a brewery and fine food restaurant, inspired by the exceptional beer from another Michigan brewery. Despite initial uncertainties and challenges, the team developed a wide range of award-winning beers and simplified their menu to accommodate larger crowds. Their unwavering commitment to brewing excellence and serving quality food led to the establishment becoming a beloved local destination for craft beer enthusiasts.

Over the years, significant investments were made to convert the building into a welcoming taproom and restaurant, complete with a spacious outdoor patio. The facility now boasts a capacity for 215 patrons, with an annual production capability of 1,200 barrels. While the brewery experienced steady growth before the COVID-19 pandemic, sales have since plateaued. However, with its prime location near popular tourist destinations and a turn-key management team in place, the brewery is poised for new ownership to help realize its full potential.
