it’s about to get ugly.
Time to dust off those Ugly Sweaters and head to the Pub for our annual Ugly Sweater party right before Christmas. Prizes (Boyne passes anyone?), kids crafts, and live music with Little Dipper.
Holiday Cheer by the dozen
Our 2025 Super Hoppy Holiday variety pack is full of high-gravity hop-forward heroes to make your nights shine a little more bright. Pop in for a pint and pick up a pack.

Let’s Share A Drink.
The Pub
Bellaire, MI
The mothership. What once was a humble hardware store was transformed by tenacity, love, and a whole lotta Ween into a half block of absolute magic. (Plus we’ve got a Beer Garden across the street.) It’s where great staff, great food, great beer, and Good Humans come together. Oh! And we’ve got a mega beer garden across the street with free live music.

The Pull Barn
Elk Rapids, MI
The big facility. Surrounded by three lakes (one is pretty Great) with a beach across the street, expanding production here was an easy yes. The freshest kegs and stellar sunsets led to us adding a tap room and beer garden to share with y’all also.
