    Rusty Rocket Brewing is an exceptional place with personable owners and tasty brews. We were fortunate to be passing through when it was open and was able to sample a full flight (8 beers). Lisa was amazing and also made a sour beer for us. Such a hidden gem. Definitely be making a reservation in the future.

    So glad to have been able to finally check out this delightful brewery. My hubby and I really don't speak beer, but the hospitable owners make it easy. I sampled many interesting brews but the wheat was my fav. My hubby preferred the blonde. Hard to go back to a regular beer after sampling that yummy and very reasonable brew. The crowd is diverse and welcoming, dogs & kids were welcome! Lovely grounds. Don't miss it!

    Made to order sour!

    I'm a bit of a beer snob, so I was curious to try the local brewery. I was blown away by the options. Everything from the caramel and sea salt on the rim of the Ol' St. nibs Coca Bliss, to the made to order sour experiment, where the acidity level is controlled by lactic acid, and sweetness by the fruit. They will also mix or customize almost any beer on tap. The facility is beautiful, indoor or outdoor seating, lake view, and the owners are extremely welcoming and sociable. It's a great place to spend an afternoon.

    I had to take a nap before writing this review. That is a positive comment about Rusty Rocket. Their beer flights are a bargain. I had the full, which is eight glasses, and these were not petite. That was at noon, when we had made our appointment for. So once we got home, I ate crackers and cheese, before retiring for the snooze. The proprietor, the wife of a husband-wife duo, had remarked on the need to sleep if you enjoy a stint of day drinking. We showed up on their 32nd anniversary. We come to town every summer. That is not the exact place where the brewery is. Our rental was over in Fennville, the next village over, and usually the family has stayed in nearby Saugatuck. For fiteen years or so, our group, which is three generations, 14 people, plus 2 dogs, has trekked to the shores of Lake Michigan for a week. Some of the guys are home brewers. We all enjoy beer. So tours are on the menu. There are a surprising number of these businesses in the region, including those making cider. This particular craft operation is on the grounds of a former campsite. It was huge, back in the day. The couple who operate it live on the other side of the lake. They are "dog people," with many photos of their rescues above the bar. You have to make an appointment. Locals sometimes just stop by when they notice the tasting room is open. One of my nephews arranged everything. The lady in charge was personable and chatty. She is in the right line of work. The husband stopped in. He started the hobby to provide the drinks his wife preferred. They also host events there. It's serene. As for the beer, I enjoyed seven of eight pours. That is a good ratio. One just wasn't for me. It had a funkiness to the flavor. But that is just my sense of taste. I recommend the experience. We brought back a growler worth and some merchandise.

    Delicious beer!

    A nice small brewery with quality beers, sours, and saisons. The location is an old YMCA camp and repurposed. They hold events and allows you to bring food. Great place to relax, enjoy a view and drink beer!

    What a great place! There's a drink for everyone whether you are a beer, cider, cocktail, sour or…read moresober-curious. We didn't try them, but I saw they have craft sodas. The pub is friendly, lots of seating and a really cool atmosphere. We started with some pretzel bites & beer cheese. You must get these. The pretzel bites are little balls of fried delicious bread, dipped in golden yumminess. We had drinks, played euchre (courtesy of the large game/card selection) and then my husband and I shared the Gyro. Cannot wait to go back and try more food! Every drink and bite of food was amazing. We loved our time in Allegan and at Tantrick. Highly recommend! @tantrickbrewingco #tantrickbrewing #downtownallegan #mibeer #buzzybooth

    Fun & relaxing atmosphere. Ordering is simple, you can do it from your phone. The service was…read morefriendly but took a while. Food was good, but nothing to go back for. Our table of 8 got a variety of food & beverages. All the drinks were good, from the local sodas in the fridge to the drink selections. The food: we ordered southwest wraps, tots, beef sliders, tenders, tantrick burger, chicken naan, fries... None of the food stuck out to us as amazing, but we were all fed and happy. The tots were much better than the fries. The tenders were not that great, but my kids ate it just fine. We also ordered mini ice cream bars and those were pretty good. Great place for a fun and relaxing time with friends and family, they have board games for your table as well which is fun. Hoping the next time we go to try other dishes that I see have been recently added that sound tasty!
