Gabriel Farms & Winery / Four Labs Beer & Cider (Craft Beer & Brewery in Petoskey MI)

Gabriel Farms & Winery, together with Four Labs Beer & Cider, has turned a modest slice of Petoskey, Michigan, into a playground for anyone who believes a pint should taste like hard work and a bit of sunshine. The place is unapologetically dog‑friendly (so you can bring your four‑legged mate and still sound respectable), and the staff treats locals the way a good host would treat an old friend – with a grin, a quick tip on the perfect brew, and an eagerness to pour something that actually deserves a second look.

Beyond the wagging tails, the real draw is the hands‑on bottling experience: you can roll up your sleeves, watch the amber liquid fill a glass, and then watch it disappear, all while the farm’s picturesque setting doubles as a first‑rate event venue. The emphasis on craftsmanship is evident in every sip – whether it’s a crisp cider or a robust ale, each drink feels like it’s been lovingly coaxed out of the barley and apples rather than mass‑produced. In short, Gabriel Farms & Four Labs delivers solid, unpretentious beer and cider in a setting that makes you wish you’d discovered it sooner.
