Northern Superior Brewing Co. and The Tap Room in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, serves up Lake Superior‑inspired craft that feels like a fresh breeze rather than a pretentious puff of hop‑filled hot air. The outfit traces its lineage back to the early 1900s, yet it manages to sound contemporary without trying too hard.
All the magic starts with water drawn straight from Lake Superior—so pure you could almost see your reflection—then transformed into a lineup that includes the Northern Superior Lager, praised locally for its crisp, clean finish, the malt‑laden Northern 55, and the audacious Gitche Gumee Double IPA, which snarls loudly enough to wake the neighbours. (The founders once dreamed of a brewery as grand as the lake itself.)
The Tap Room is a modest yet lively hub: a rotating menu of dishes from nearby restaurants keeps the palate entertained while small bites sit snugly beside the pints. A patio with unobstructed views invites conversation, and the bartenders are happy to dissect every hop and malt with the enthusiasm of a lecturer who actually knows his subject. Whether you crave a gentle sip or a bold roar, Northern Superior delivers craftsmanship with a grin.
Northern Superior Brewing Co. and The Tap Room offer a welcoming atmosphere with excellent service, great food options, and an impressive selection of beers catering to various tastes. Patios and live music add to the charm, making it a great spot for socializing and relaxation.
