We went when the first opened on kind of a rainy Saturday. You order at the bar and then sit anywhere you would like in the brewery. Drinks were such a good price. The flights are $10 and you can try just about anything. They had a huge selection of beers, ciders, wines. A lot of interesting flavors too so i definitely recommend getting a flight! The server was super sweet and very helpful. I will definitely be coming back here this summer!

Unfortunately they have changed to plastic cups which I am not a huge fan of. The bar tender wasn't terribly welcoming. Which is fine, maybe she was just having an off day. But I've been there before with the same bartender and she always comes off as annoyed. Again, maybe just catching her on off days. They used to have a popcorn machine which they got rid of. You can buy packaged stuff if you'd like. There is a food truck there but I haven't tried that. The beer now is okay. Nothing to write home about. It was better a few years ago. The best is still the Goodale. Overall if you like beer flights, it is worth a stop. But it is hit or miss on service.

Brewery #266 Third…read moreLife Brewing is a true microbrewery: a small brewery doing good craft beer with no food and no frills. Third Life is located in the former office of an old warehouse that I believe was an old Iron Ore company ( if memory serves me right). The brewery even has the old safe still in wall. I got my usual flight that consisted of Cat Jammin'-Raspberry (Raspberry Wheat), Tomtoberfest (Marzen), S.S. Dankowiak (DIPA) and the Duke of Witch Tree (Hazy IPA). All of them were really good but the S.S. Dankowiak was the star of my flight board. Cool atmosphere with lots of table and board games. Good music playing and a cool brewery sticker. Who doesn't love a bear in a canoe?

Although the wildfire smoke likely kept some people away, we came around mid afternoon in what should be the beginning of prime time hours and the place was empty. Not a good sign. I found it a bit odd that we had to order at the bar, considering only 2 other groups were there. There were like 4 employees just chatting away at the bar as well. At this point I know what I like in craft beers and I usually never have an unpleasant experience trying them, but we liked nothing we ordered on the beer flight! We had put in an order for the BBQ flatbread as an appetizer as well, and the chicken was super dry. I can't blame the sauce for being to spicy since I'm sure it's a popular local brand. That one's on us. We decided to have an actual dinner closer to our cabin.

The bier garten is constantly voted one of the best in the conference and depending on the time of year you visit it may be filled with cozy igloos, roaring bonfires or like today, just a awesome summer vibe. The staff are always friendly, the food gets better every time we visit and the beer is delicious! And now that they distill their own spirits, my wife is even more excited to visit Hop Lot, she even bought a tee shirt on this visit which is a very rare thing for her to do. Thanks Hop Lot!

Beers were warm, and you have tables outside with not enough chairs so our only option was the tent. Every time this place gets busy it just falls into total chaos. Made a mistake coming here again.

Excellent brewery/restaurant in Grayling…read more I've eaten here twice in a seven year span and the beer, food, and service are still great. Latest visit was last week and we were going to arrive right around kitchen closing (9:30pm). Called in an order and they held it for us/let us eat inside and grab beers. Appreciated that greatly after a long drive. A handful of plant based options like tacos, bowls, and pita sandwiches. I ordered tacos and the pita and both were yummy. Beers are solid and they have other breweries too. Plus cider. The seating options are plentiful (long bar, small and large tables). They can accommodate large groups. The decor is cool inside too. Will absolutely keep coming here when I find myself up north.
