    Just a bit out of the way from main Mackinaw City area but well worth the extra couple miles drive. Nice feel to the place which was packed on a Thursday night. There were a lot of families there. Now for the beer. I actually had only the brown ale. It wasn't too bad but not over the top wonderful. I would have had more to at least sample but it was fairly packed and only one TV. We wanted to watch the Tigers playoff game and from the other half of the brewery, we couldn't see the TV. Didn't try any of the food.

    Loading up pint-sized cans of two amazing, powerful brews (Fleur de Mac and Devil's Kitchen).

    We brought our dogs, as we always do when we visit this part of the state, and Biere de Mac happily accommodated. The outside dining wasn't a fancy patio, but rather picnic tables set amongst the trees, with autumn bringing beautiful colors. The dogs loved exploring the wilderness while we waited for our pizza, which was brought out fairly quickly. I really wish I had taken a moment to get a pic of the big beautiful pepperoni pizza we ordered. It was *loaded* with pepperonis...seriously, 10 or so per slice. But, we were hungry. It cost $35, which seemed a bit steep at first, but the flavor was terrific. The sauce was rich (the San Marzano tomatoes really come through) and just a bit spicy. There are some truly skilled brewmasters at the helm. Grandma didn't want a beer, but she liked the idea of cider. This was a seriously yummy cider. I opted for the Devil's Kitchen, a powerful (10.4% alcohol) but incredibly smooth brew. I've brewed beer before, and I can tell you that this is something of a masterpiece. This much alcohol is *supposed* to be harsh in a beer, but this is very drinkable. Also, you're not choking on hops, as so many IPAs make you do these days. You can get any beer in a growler or a 16 ounce can. A can of Devil's Kitchen (which is named after a famous cave on Mackinac Island) costs $10. This might sound like a lot, but it's reasonable for the quality and quantity of the brew. This wasn't a cheap visit, but I'd say it was worth it.

    Great vibe! Love stopping here going to or from the UP. Located right off the highway off the Mackinac Bridge. Ny husband and I haven't been here since Covid. Not sure if the outside area is newer, but I love it! We didn't have a dog the last time we came, so we didn't have a reason to explore the outside. This place is sooo dog friendly! My husband and our pup stayed outside while my friend and I ordered the Montreal brisket sandwich which comes with chips and homemade pickles and drinks. Order inside and you will be given a number. We got our stout and cider when we ordered. Our food was delivered to us. Everyone was so friendly. Food was great!

    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

    The Jacob's Farmhouse Ale was great! Smooth and flavorful. The brisket sandwich was so amazing that I may not try any other food choices when I return.

    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!

    Not a craft beer enthusiast, but stopped in here because we were camping near there, and the Canadian wildfires made it hard to chill on lake Huron, so we hopped over to this place for some sun, fun, and beer. The 4 of us sat down and found out we had to order at the bar. We got flights to try a plethora of what they had. Since I'm not a big craft beer girl, the only one I liked enough to drink again was the Beet Hard Cider. I ordered some of the mustard pretzels and spicy mix to be brought to the table to snack on while we partook in our flight tasting. While sitting there, the 4 of us contemplated on getting food, and settled on the whitefish spread (delicious) & the shiitake mushroom crostini (good, but cold). While I was headed up to the bar to put in my order, the bartender came out with a basket of the whitefish spread and said "here is your order", but I hadn't ordered yet. I said if he couldn't find a home for it, our table would take it, and he gave it to me. The bread was fresh out of the oven! We ended up ordering the Montreal Meat Sammie & the Herb Roasted Pork Sammie, and both were soooooo rich, thank goodness we split them. They were both good, but not memorable. The place is clean, staff is friendly, and they have a huge outdoor space where you can play cornhole and they have bands at night. Great place to stop if you're in the area.

    Award winning beer!!! This stop is a MUST! The owner is very personable. He stops at your table and is very fun! It doesn't stop there... the food is awesome. For example, I just got back from Alaska and had some awesome salmon spreads and halibut spreads while there. Well, let me tell you, the whitefish spread here is SOOO MUCH better! Can you believe I said this fish spread is better than in Alaska? Yep, it is. Come here, try some.

    Flight of five beers

    They have a small food menu. We didn't get food, but what I saw being brought out looked good and ample amounts. The staff is friendly, and it's far enough south of the main tourist area to be calmer. I got a flight of five beers and was very pleased to find some of the more earthy and rustic styles. They had two farmhouse styles, one was Latvian. Give it a try if you want to get away from crowds and chill.

    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.

    Second Beach, ready for the patio!

    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.

    Montreal meat sandwich
    John W.

    I went here in a Friday afternoon. It wasn't super busy (which was nice) and I really liked the interior decoration. It felt really well designed. The food here was pretty good. I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was pretty good. I probably would get it without the beer mustard. As this was super overpowering (and I'm not a huge mustard fan). But the flavors were fantastic! A really interesting and unique combination of flavors. Very bold. The montreal meat sandwich was good too, but the brisket was a little fatty. Definitely get lots of napkins if you get food, embrace the mess :) Service was good. They forgot one of our sandwiches but were able to get a new one out pretty quick. Overall, I'd definitely come back here, great vibes.

To be fair, since it's on Mackinac Island, you're going to travel an hour just to get here anyway. But yeah, if I lived anywhere in the area I'd plan a night around coming here. The three things I look for in a brewery are an inviting outdoor space, accessibility to some good grub, and (of course) some quality beers. Big bonus if a place is dog friendly. Great Turtle easily accomplishes all three. Our waitress was great - they were fairly busy but she was super friendly and made sure we were taken care of without being up-in-your-face. The lunches we enjoyed were tasty and filling. We actually came here twice on the same day. The first time we got the 12-sample flight of all their beers. We then left for a walk around the town. After an hour of talking about Great Turtle we decided to go back for lunch and a pint of our favorite beer from the flight. Very rare for us to repeat a place, especially on the same day! Next time we venture into Northern Michigan I'll try to convince Mama to go back again, get a room nearby, and spend more time without the concern of driving later on. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here
