This delectable brewery is tucked away on the shores of Crystal Lake- just 30 minutes from Traverse City. Five Shores Brewery has a prime location just off the bike trail and adjacent to the adorable downtown area.
The Mitten Brewing Company has beer from cream ales to a mouthwatering brown, to a refreshing and traditional IPA. It’s always hard to know what to choose, as each beer deserves a taste.
Loco Boys has seating both indoors and out, with a unique view of their brewing equipment in the middle of the taproom. They use experimental ingredients, and it’s always hard to decide what beer to try.
