    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!

    I cannot stop thinking about The Mitten. This area has a pretty large gap in restaurants that are…read moregood and ones that... well you know. The Mitten? Truly one of the best places we ate while in town. How good? We went three times. The pizza is out of this world. They know what they're doing. The beer? Also a 10/10. So many options that really set them apart. Each time we went the folks behind the bar and out at tables were kind and really on it. Finally, the outside area is a gem. Great views and baseball vibes.

    Great little patio / outside seating in the heart of downtown…read more Was seated promptly and we were off to a good start. Waiter came back and took our beer order and then disappeared. He then proceeded to take everyone else's food order, even though they sat after us, prior to come back to take ours. We finally ordered and they pizza came out. Couple points in the pizza, it was good mind you but each topping is $2.50. If I get bacon on a pizza I'm expecting more than a sparse sprinkling of bacon bits on my pizza for that amount. If you order ham on you pizza they provide a good amount but the pieces of game are pretty large and tend to come off as part of the initial bite. They have a food runner that is delivering the pizzas so we didn't interact with the waiter again, no check in, no asking if we wanted another round of drinks. Multiple attempts to flag him down went ignored, I finally grabbed my own to go box for the left overs. I was finally able to get his attention after he made five trips to fill up a water cooler so that we could pay. Food & Drinks great. Service was dreadful.
