Chateau Aeronautique Winery, Blue Skies Brewery & Mile High Distillery ~ Irish Hills (Craft Beer & Brewery in Onsted MI)

Blue Skies Brewery in Onsted, Michigan, is where the sky isn’t the limit – it’s the starting point. Born in a repurposed aircraft hangar, the place has blossomed into an art‑filled, laid‑back sanctuary for anyone who enjoys a proper brew. Their line‑up reads like a passport of flavour: a silky Belgian Tripel that could smooth out the toughest morning, a Chocolate Oatmeal Stout as rich as a Sunday roast, and a zest‑kicking Lemon Shandy that makes you wonder why you ever tolerated plain lemonade.

Take a stroll through the hangar and cellar (the tour feels less like a lecture and more like a guided adventure), then settle into the expansive Biergarten where live music drifts between the tables. The bar itself is built into an actual plane wing – a nod to the founders’ love of aviation (and a brilliant conversation starter).

When you’re done sampling, dive into the gourmet charcuterie boards or craft your own deep‑dish pizza, each topping thoughtfully paired with a suggested pint. Weekends burst with music and interactive tastings, proving that at Blue Skies, craft isn’t just a word; it’s a full‑flavour experience.
