Good craft beer for any taste. From light beer to hearty IPA. You can buy cans to take home also!

Great place for a beer anytime of the year. Solid selection, got the Harwell and Sangria and enjoyed the conversation with the bar tender. Nice open main bar and outdoor area that is shaded and some covered area. No major food, only chips, peanuts or pretzels or TV's but not needed. read more

We were passing through this area and decided on this brewery because it was dog friendly. We enjoyed awesome beer and spent time talking with locals. Definitely a good choice! read more

The bartender was great and so was the outdoor seating. There was no food at the time. I tried a few beers and liked the mango wheat and peach/strawberry beer. Their 6-pack was a great price ($13 or so), but the beers I grabbed on tap cost a lot more (usually it's the other way around). read more

Within walking distance from the marina. We stopped here for a couple brews on a Sunday afternoon. Beer was great as was the service. The locals were super friendly and we talked about boat and motorcycle troubles. The town was super sleepy and not much was open, which I enjoyed. read more

We stopped on a road trip in Northern Michigan. We could have stayed all day- the service and conversations were outstanding. And, of course the beer was so good! read more

Great beers and setting in Northport. However, I was just yelled at by Dan the General Manager because I asked to be served next while sitting at the bar after being passed over for two walk up customers. It was not especially busy at the time. They were having Internet problems and we had been very patient but felt invisible to the staff as they served other customers while we were waiting, seated at the bar. I tried to explain our issue only to be yelled at more by Dan. It was a very bad experience and I feel maybe Dan should not face customers. read more

Great brews. Great time. Great food. Great owners. Highly recommended. Had the assortment of IPAs and brews with great food. The Leelanau summer shandy was fantastic. One of the owners Scott was very hospitable and knowledgeable in the micro brew arena. If your in town or in Traverse City its worth discovering this Northport Gem. read more

I thought this Brewhouse was really great! it was very laid-back and the bartenders were very helpful in letting you taste test which you like or better yet just choose the flight so that you could get a taste of four. It was only $6 for a flight so pace yourself! I was able to come in at the grand opening and experience a great community really supporting this new company. There was a barbecue and music that rounded up that local feel. i was so impressed by the logo design of the brewhouse that i snagged a pint glass with it as a souvenir! I enjoyed my time eating and drinking at this brewhouse and will forever remember your assortment of stouts! They were my personal favorites :] Until next time Northport Brewing! when i can make it out to Michigan again! or if you ever start distributing or shipping to California! :) read more

Great beer! Bartender did a fantastic job! Loved the beer garden and the pizza sold out there!

Super friendly!! The owner let us try just about everything for free. The beers were good, but I'm a huge IPA fan and they didn't have any IPA on tap. Luckily, there were a few bottles of black IPA they scrounged up. There was a Polish plate that everyone went crazy over. I'm polish so we thought we better get in on the action. Luckily we did. Best sauerkraut ever! The afternoon was cool and rainy, but the food and atmosphere were cozy. Just wish they had more IPA. Looks like other than that they are doing things right...outdoor space looked nice and the bar is modern and appealing. Will try again, but will call first to see what's on tap. read more

First time - wanted a little road trip from TC. Nice cozy place, friendly patrons and bartender. Beers and ciders were tasty! And, free popcorn! read more

Good beer, but DON'T dare touch their 'Walken Cooler'! Missed the tiny 'Employees Only' sign on the door. Instead of realizing it was an honest mistake, the Bartender had a major hissy fit, huffing and puffing while printing our bill. Lame ending to a decent brewery visit. read more

Just a feel good spot to visit and enjoy. Everyone is in great spirits. The bartender was like a friend hosting you. It was just so nice we didn't realize the time pass by as we sat and enjoyed a few drinks. A great stop through the town and on my list to visit again! read more

One of the only Northport establishments open all year long. We can enjoy a drink and board game on the patio in the summer or inside in the winter. It's also home to the beautiful Northport Christmas tree! Great place for the entire family. Beer, wine, sangria, Northwood Soda's and FREE popcorn! Enjoy your wood fire pizza on the patio in the summer. read more

I'm far from a beer snob but this is a nice place. The bartender couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. Like a lot of breweries they have a limited menu as far as food goes. It's more limited than most and that is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. What we ate was very good... oh and all the free fresh popcorn you want! They have games sitting around that we played at the table. Just a good place to hang out! read more

Great beer. Great location in a great place. I don't have anything else to say but if I don't use enough words yelp will not say this is a review but only a tip. Not sure that I care but thought I would share. Drink beer here!! read more

They share an outdoor seating area with the food truck next door. Grab food at one and booze at the other. You'll be good to go. They serve other brews than their own too. I enjoyed the Green Man hard cider by Tandem Cider. read more

Love visiting this local brewing company while vacationing in Northern Michigan. Great craft beers and service also. Love the pizza that is made on site outside in the brick fire oven read more

What a great place! Our bartender was the best and he filled us in on some history of the location and heated us up some tasty sandwiches. I loved the atmosphere and you feel very welcome-no strangers! We chatted with some others who stopped in and bought some shirts on our way to the lighthouse. Definitely worth a stop and they have cider and wine for those of us non beer drinkers! read more

Great beer, friendly, helpful staff what more do you need? Indoor and outdoor seating, a very unusual urinal in the men's room (I only saw a picture lol)& very cute merchandise! ! Drive all the way up to The Mitten and brewery crawl your way south! read more

Great beers, nice atmosphere. We enjoyed fire grilled pizzas from a food truck when we were there. Kid friendly and casual.

One of my favorite breweries! We were in the area so figured we would try another one of there locations! This location had a very large outside patio which makes it a very desired location in the summer! Inside is not the biggest space but most people were outside when we were there anyway! You can bring your own food in though which is always a plus to me! read more

Fair. At best. We stayed in northport for the week and wanted a fun place for dinner and drinks, we were not pleased. Almost grossed out. The patio was really dirty with trash cans overflowing and droppings all over the ground. There was a pizza place attached, but the staff was very unfriendly and made us feel rushed and unwelcome. The beer selection was fine. But we definitely wouldn't recommend and wouldn't go back. We thought it would be a cool concept and especially right in downtown, but not what it could be. Go to the garage instead of here. read more

It was great to find this litte brew pub in Northport. Verty nice indoor/outdoor spot with some tasty beers. One thing I liked the most was that our flight of beer my wife and I tried were tasty and the best part...only 6$. Compared to a more populary spot in Traverse City where we paid 18-20 for a flight. Will definately be back. read more

The Mitten Brewing - Northport - Ha ha...this is great!!! - Breweries Near Me - Northport, Michigan

OK, let me start by saying that I go to a LOT of breweries. As of this writing I'm at well over 125 and counting with about 120 of those being Michigan breweries. I can say, unwaveringly, that Northport Brewing is making a sound approach into First Place territory. First, the beer is phenomenal! There were 10 beers on tap during our visit and, naturally, we ordered all of them (this took 3 flights, but since each flight consists of 4 beers, we got an extra pour of two favorites). Much to our amazement, almost EVERY beer was great, not just passable, or even good, but GREAT (I will say the Nitro Northern Queen Stout was perhaps just shy of great, especially for being a nitro tap, but was still very, VERY good). My two favorites were the Nonny Belgian Pale which had a fantastically strong banana like flavor (typical of Belgians in addition to clove) and was super smooth, and the Fox Island Common which claims to taste like a Kentucky Bourbon, but (to me) tasted EXACTLY like a Glen Livet (Scotch, but still in the Whiskey family) that had all the booziness removed and mellowed over ice. FANTASTIC!!! My wife's favorite was the Pyramid Point Porter, although I thought it had an almost fruity, peppery flavor, which was good, but not Porter like. Even the IPAs were good, and I tend to hate IPAs for the excessive and unnecessary amount of hops. these were smooth and likely had IBUs under 40 (sorry, hop addicts!). the Black IPA almost tasted like it had a coffee stout mixed in. Yummy. Anyway, the atmosphere was great, also. The building is open to the outdoor patio area which is beautiful and super relaxing and was fairly full with a mix of families, couples and small groups of friends having quiet, pleasant conversations. The only drawback is that being in a resort town that attracts wealthier vacationers, you may encounter the kind of people that happened to be seated behind us. You know the type: The super-douchey trust-fund children of Buffy and Chaz. The bratty twenty-somethings that have verbal diarrhea and can't utter a sentence that doesn't involve how much money they have or how cool they (think) they are. One member of the quartet of nouveau-riche numbskulls behind us interjected an F-bomb every other word (so cutting edge!) even though there were several children within ear shot. Proof that cash =/= class. The employees, however, were all super friendly, accommodating, and helpful as well. They were pretty busy, but never seemed stressed or snappy. If you're hungry, they do have a small selection of snack type foods like pretzels and dips. We got the pretzel with beer cheese (its made with the Morazan Amber). The pretzel looked great, but turned out to be very dry, which made sense when we saw that they hang in one of those rotating pretzel warmers. The beer cheese was OK, but not really anything amazing. The food highlight was the food truck (Earth, Wind, & Fryer) that is sort of a permanent fixture on the patio. The menu is impressive not in size, but in content. I don't want to hijack this review with my ravings about Earth, Wind, & Fryer so be sure to check out my review of them, too! I can't say enough good things about this place. It IS a heck of a hike to the tip of the peninsula, but GO! If you're a beer hound you can break up the trip with a stop at Hop Lot in Suttons Bay, but don't fill up or YOU WILL REGRET IT! Northport Brewing gets my official Seal of Approval and a hearty two thumbs up! read more

Excellent small town brewery with the best outdoor patio in the area. The patio has great seating and a beautiful outdoor fire place which is the greatest feature on the patio. It's pretty easy to get comfortable and pull up a chair by the fireplace. They also bring in different food trucks on the weekends so you can not only grab a brew but you can have a bite to eat ! read more

Great atmosphere. Clever name. Great beer. Yummy popcorn. Clever bathroom. Nice people. Cool food truck. Great neighborhood.

Friendly staff, excellent beer. We enjoyed a flight and several pints on their patio next to the wood burning fireplace. The Wit and Saison were delicious, we took two growlers to go. Definitely recommend to others, this is home town brewing at it's finest. read more

I had heard very good things and the reality is even better. Come here and drink the Tennis The Menace IPA! The Peterson Park Pale is bright and extremely well balanced. The Black IPA Is an experience that has to be a part of your stop. The Cathead Bay IPA Is just a smooth sipper. Locally grown ingredients and just such a knowledge base behind the bar! Make sure you stop here and soak in the goodness! read more

Great staff and great beer and cider! Had a great afternoon and took some home to share with our family.

Beer snobs as we are, we had to try this place out while in town. We went on the first day of them being open (for the season?), and they had a band playing outside. The weather was great, people were aplenty, and the beer was flowing. Prices were good, and decora was nice. We ordered a couple drinks and headed outside to enjoy the music. Beers were decent, nothing out of this world. Sour porter was a little different, but not in a great way. Live band needed a LOT of work, it seemed like this was their first gig together. Singer had great potential though. I would return, but just because I love beer. read more

Friendly barkeep and great brews are just some of the highlights of this well designed establishment. The raspberry brew kept my wife happy while their Amber was a new flavor with a familiar undertone. Snacks on hand and the food truck out back top off a wonderful beer garden experience. A must try in Northport but also worth the short drive from Traverse City. I put their beers up against any Seattle or Poetland fare. read more
