Review
Unique Brewery Tour Not To Be Missed!

Where to begin? Thank you David for taking the time to show our group what is obviously your labor of love and one that has been in your family for so very long. The tasting room is beautiful and the surrounding buildings hold so much history. The tour of the brewery was very informative, but the best part was the beer. Every offering was amazing! I only wish that we could drop your brewery here in Michigan.
