Greenbush Brewing Company

HOURS Sunday - Thursday: 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday: 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Good ideas often start over beer. Always looking to take a good thing too far, we sat down over a beer (or two) and decided that beer itself was a good idea. Of course, not just some easy-drinking, institutional prole beer, but stuff like the beers we'd had at great bars. In short, we wanted beer with flavor. Complexity. Character. Intensity. Not words found in the mass-market lexicon. So with a banjo burner, a bunch of industrial-sized kitchen pots and as many buckets as we could find, we jumped in feet first. Once a week, every week. This led to brewing twice a week and handing out bottle after bottle to everyone we knew. Now, several years later and with a 15 bbl version of our banjo burner and kitchen pots for a brewhouse, we're befuddling the beer judges and converting the masses. One pint at a time. Located in the small lakeside town of Sawyer, MI, Greenbush crafts beers with names like Anger, Closure, Mammoth and Doomslayer-and with nothing under 6% ABV, the monikers are indicative of the styles. The brewery serves beer and a full menu out of its Sawyer taproom seven days a week and currently distributes to bars, restaurants and retailers throughout the state of Michigan, in metro Chicago and Northern Indiana.

Staying at a lake house with extended family required I search out the local area for some tasty beer and Greenbush Brewing was a perfect spot. I stopped by the annex, where I bought a growler (there are many, many options available on tap, or in the cooler). The location is lovely, with a real attention to detail: boccie courts, and an outdoor beer garden along with tall benches to sit at inside. I saw kids running around outside, and with an ice-cream shop down the alley it is a perfect place to seek some shade if the beach has proven to be too much. I would recommend the location and their craft brews to everyone.

Breath of fresh air in wine country ...great change of pace to do a $5 flight tasting of their great liquor. The food is awesome! We recommend the charcuterie board and pretzel appetizers...the purple rain mixed drink is also super fun and yummy! Fun industrial scene with golf putting out back...spread out and large restaurant and bar scene. Definitely don’t miss it! It’s great and one of our favorite stops.

Contessa Wine Cellars Tasting Room

Reviewed By Renn777

Tony Peterson the owner is always such a great host! We have been driving across state to get their wines for a few years now after "Discovering" them on a trip to Warren Dunes. We usually purchase a case of wine each visit as they are not available anywhere else in the state. We have enjoyed each flavor we have tried and this time we stocked up on their cherry wine, which was better than any of the Traverse City cherry wines we have had. A glass of wine on the porch in the summer is the closest you can get to being in as Italian vineyard ! Keep up the great work!

St. Julian Winery & Distillery

Our wines are made exclusively from grapes grown in the Lake Michigan Shore Appellation - one of the most fertile growing regions in the nation - which not only sets us apart from other wineries in the state, but has been instrumental in making us Michigan's most-awarded winery. Our wide selection of award-winning wines ranges from internationally recognized dry wines to award-winning sweet wines, and everything in between. We are also proud to offer craft distilled spirits, and ciders.

My family was here to visit from California. To my surprise they wanted to visit wineries in the Midwest. This winery was a couple hours from my home so why not? The variety of wines were really good. My cousin enjoyed the wine tasting. I don’t drink alcohol so I did not think I would find anything of interest for me but to my surprise they had a nice selection of sparkling juices—which I love. I purchased four varieties. I only opened one bottle so far but I really enjoyed it. My cousin also liked the wines she purchased. There are nice souvenirs as well. I enjoyed browsing and bought a few other items as well. I am planning another trip to the winery alone to purchase a case of wine and a case of sparkling juice to give as holiday gifts. On a final note, I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful

My husband and I decided to stop here along with several other wineries in the area. Hickory Creek was by far our favorite! Excellent wine with a quaint atmosphere and personal touch that the winemaker, Adam brought. We definitely will be adding this to our must see list when in SW MI.

12 Corners Vineyards

For nearly a century, West Michigan has been the home of some of the most productive and picturesque fruit farms in the Midwest. Lake Michigan's "lake effect" has sheltered the fruit of our region from the harshness of winter - blanketing the fruit vines with snow and providing slightly warmer temperatures. 12 Corners Vineyards was started by a small group of friends who grew up in Michigan and recognized the uniqueness of a site just four miles off Michigan's famed "Gold Coast." The hamlet of Twelve Corners, Michigan is our namesake. We have an 115 acre estate planted with both vinifera and hybrid grapes. The vineyards are planted on soils of varying textures and slopes, bringing a distinct and pronounced terroir to the wines we proudly serve.

Tracey thank you for a great time tasting the wines. Your knowledge of the wines and fun personality made our day. Mainly did white wines. Niagara and Pinot were our favorites. Surprised by the apple Hard Cider was sooo smooth and refreshing.

My husband and I stopped in for a tasting while on our way to some wineries. Delicious beers! They had a wonderful selection and the place I’m sure is probably very busy on the weekends. Worth a visit!
