This was a fun stop. We popped in for a beer and had a lovely time…read more Ben was pouring beers and charming guests. He has a great energy that adds to the vibe in this place. I got a pint of their stout, being the dark beer girl that I am. It was roasty and delicious. My husband had the black IPA. I tried that too and yum! We decided to split a flight. I chose the brown and their porter. My husband chose the DIPA and the American IPA. All solid brews. This would be worth a re-visit on another MI trip.

The beer here leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. Vienna lager was ok. "Name this beer" was…read morenot good. It had almost a medicinal/sour taste to it. I rarely leave beer behind, but I just couldn't finish that one. The taste did not match the "easy drinking" description at all in my opinion. The pros: cool atmosphere and friendly staff

Cute, clean, and welcoming spot…read more We try to support local so we frequent Red Cedar every couple of months or so. The live music is nice as are the crowds the free entertainment brings. However, it seems the drinks have gotten a bit more expensive and for seemingly less quantity. The lite food options pair well with the cocktail menu, they are perfect for a happy hour situation or a galavanting night or out!

Local craft distillery that creates a unique blend of vodkas, bitters, etc. Literally everything at…read morethe bar is home made. We visited late and really just stopped in to get a drink but the owner was there and gave us a quick tour. We explored the machines, barrels and containers used to make all spirits and learned about the process of creating their unique blend of spirits. The history of this place is very compelling and our drinks (flamingo) were crafted with perfection. We left with their Apple vodka and that bottle didn't make it through the weekend. The night we visited, no events occurred but the owner did mention they have live music and other events regularly. An overall cute spot I'd return to.

We made a stop on our way from Grayling to the Toledo area. The beer is good and owner/brewer,…read moreBobby, could not have been nicer. He also makes and sells kimchee and black garlic (in season). While we were there, a family pulled in asking for help. Their boat trailer had somehow detached from their vehicle and was laying, tilted forward on the pavement. The folks from MBW saved their day, offering their time and a tractor fitted with lift forks. Definitely worth a leisurely drop in. My favorite was the Belgian White.

I was told about this place from a friend and had to give it a shot. I promise you, it is not…read morenearly as scary as it looks from the outside. In fact, after my visit, I think I actually appreciate its rough appearance. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was entering "the real deal" of craft; nothing fancy - just quality. In addition to his beers, he also makes his own spirits and the whiskey was absolutely phenomenal. I'm not a huge whiskey guy so I'm sure a "snobby" person may have a different opinion but it's most definitely worth a shot during your visit. The owner, who was working behind the bar, was extremely personable and seemed to make quick friends with every guest that came in. You could tell he takes a lot of pride in his craft. I will be back and will make sure I bring others with me to experience this hidden gem.

Here's a great place to relax and visit. Great service and good conversation,…read moreI actually ordered 2 growlers of cider from here an was very impressed with the quality and taste. They do have a small kitchen that has many different choices.

Fantastic place for local beer!!…read more My wife and I stopped by this place while visiting the area. Wow! For a small local downtown shop, this place has a fantastic collection of Michigan brewed beers. Some refrigerated, some on the shelf, and nearly everything available as a single bottle, they seemed to showcase the best beer Michigan has to offer. I'll admit, I went into the store looking for beer, but they also have a great selection of local wines and other products specific to Michigan. This is definitely going to be a stop on our next trip to MI!!

Staff was so friendly and totally on it. Food and beer were both great. We will be back - 100%!!!!read more

This is one of the best places to eat/drink in Mason!…read more The beers and ciders here are very well crafted and served at a very reasonable price compared to many other breweries. The food is also next level too, absolutely love their wings and tots! As far as ambiance goes, this place has a rustic/modern looking interior with a vibrant and inviting exterior seating area that even has heated seating during the winter! If you're curious about the vibes at this brewery, I'd say it really depends on when you go. I've never seen it wild and energetic but I'm certain it can be on the weekends at night. If you're looking for a more tame experience, I'd go earlier in the day, probably before 6. Regardless of the time of day, day of week or how busy they are though, the staff is always on point while being super friendly and helpful! If you live in the area and you haven't been to Bad, you gotta check it out! If you're not from around here, I promise it's worth the drive!!!

went there with my mom everyone was so nice and the wine is amazing! I completely recommend it!!read more

Came to Michigan to visit my younger brother, and my partner and I are very into wine tasting and…read morejust happened to be curious enough to look for one around the area we were in. We got to this place and were a bit timid. It looked like a house from the outside but, as you walk in, it's a wonderful looking store and winery. Everyone there was very nice to us. They were very genuine and forward with any answers they had for our questions. They serve cheese and crackers, kinda like smaller charcuterie boards so you can enjoy as you wine taste and they sell their own wine glasses as souvenirs inside the shop. For the wine tasting, they give you a menu of wines with their flavor profiles and a piece of paper where you write your desired sips to give them so they may prepare it for you as you go to your seat. They have outside seating and during the fall it is an amazing experience! I can't recommend enough coming to visit this place at least once, if you're in the area! It's a cute little place to come visit and the wine is very good! I recommend the A Maize 'N Blue if you like sweet wines!
