Reviews
A brewery with a French influence. They have an inside tap room and a large outdoor area where you can take your dogs and enjoy some of their brews. It looks like it would be a great place to enjoy some live music with friends.
We came here while on a camping trip in the nearby state park. After a long day of driving we were looking for a cold beer and a dog-friendly patio and Biere De Mac fit the bill nicely. The indoor bar and seating area is pretty standard Midwest core, but there is a beautiful outdoor area with tables, fire pit, and other places to sit. It wasn't too busy when we arrived, so we quickly got a couple beers to bring outside. The staff was friendly and didn't mind offering a few tasters to help settle on selections. A really special aspect of this brewery is the focus on beers that reflect their French themes - farmhouse ales, saisons, and similar, in a range you may not get elsewhere. The menu offered helpful tasting descriptions, and I settled on the Dandy Saison, a seasonal selection brewed with dandelions (so cool!). I'm a big saison fan and it was a fun to try such a unique offering. I think one crucial drawback of the experience is the pricing for their smaller pours. They offer flights but not at any special rate, so the inflated pricing of 5oz pours will set you back a lot relative to full pints. Given the limited food menu it seems like the point is to come here for beer - I was happy with my one pint, but I wish there was a more cost-effective way to try more.
Delicious beverages and cider with a small food menu. Menu includes snacks, sandwiches and paninis; all are prepared well and tasty. Bar staff is always helpful with beer selections, and somehow know when to be chatty, or left alone to enjoy your beverage. This tavern is spacious; inside is a view of their brewing system, and their dog-friendly patio has a nice birch-tree grove.
Wish I'd known this was here sooner- Mackinaw City and it's the load of touristy schtick is a pass for us but we'll stop here every trip north from now on They have a host of beers to choose from but we went with the pina colada cider since it was temporary and it was perfect for summer days outside - my family both had the brisket and I had the kvorka- sad they were out of rye bread for the brisket so they substituted brioche- still very very good- also out of whitefish dip so that's for next time too They have a fantastic outdoor space with games and dogs allowed so it's a great family destination as well Most impressive: their merch is high quality- surprising for a small brewery Live music outside as well- check for dates/times
Best food on our trip to Macinaw. The owner even came out and was talking with us about going to the dark park to see the Northern Lights. Very unassuming from the outside but definitely worth a visit. We will definitely be back on our next trip!
