Mackinaw Brewery in Traverse City

Traverse City is home to the Mackinaw Brewing Company. Having begun operations in 1997, they offer some amazing hand craft brews like a cherry lager, an oatmeal stout, their peninsula pale ale and summer love, which is a wheat beer served with a slice of lemon. Open seven days a week, they smoke their own meats, providing lunch and dinner daily. They also make their own cider and mead. Even their historic Beadle Building is unique...built in 1892 as a harness shop by John Beadle himself.
