East Channel Brewing Company in Munising, Michigan, has been run by a single family since 2016, and the result is a place where earnest craft meets unpretentious fun. Inside The Connection – a lively production hall that doubles as a beer garden – you’ll find seven freshly‑drawn taps, ranging from the hop‑packed Old Tru’s IPA to the velvety Lake Street Stout. The lineup also boasts raspberry and nectar lagers that are so good they practically whisper compliments to your palate (the founders, who have clearly studied the chemistry of hops, take their brewing seriously).
If you think a brewery is only about booze, think again. The tap room serves personalized pizzas, and an adjacent wood‑fired oven dishes out slices that pair spectacularly with the brews. Bring in food from any of the local restaurants, and you’ve got a feast. Outside, fire pits crackle and a modest music setup provides a soundtrack for lazy afternoons. Whether you’re sipping a glass of house‑made soda, a modest wine, or a daring ale, the vibe is unmistakably vibrant, and the craftsmanship is undeniably top‑notch.
East Channel Brewing Company offers a variety of delicious beers, including raspberry and nectar lagers, as well as wood-fired pizzas with personal-sized options. Guests praise friendly service and welcoming staff, making it worth visiting for drinks or food.
