Petoskey Brewing Company Spotlight: Petoskey, Michigan

Petoskey sits at the top of Little Traverse Bay with a walkable downtown, a strong arts community, and the kind of natural setting that pulls people back summer after summer. Petoskey Brewing Company arrived in 2012 and gave the city one more excellent reason to stay a while.

The brewery produces a craft lineup designed around approachability and quality, with enough variety across the tap list to serve the full range of beer drinkers who come through the area. Lighter lagers and wheat beers sit alongside amber ales, porters, and seasonal releases that take advantage of Northern Michigan’s agricultural bounty when the timing is right.

The taproom carries the relaxed energy appropriate for a city where most visitors are already in vacation mode. There is no pressure to hurry, the staff is genuinely friendly, and the beer is good enough to justify the deliberate pace of an afternoon in Petoskey.

Petoskey’s location on the Little Traverse Bay Greenway, the proximity to Boyne Mountain and other outdoor destinations, and the density of good food and drink options in a small area make it one of Northern Michigan’s most complete small-town getaways. Petoskey Brewing Company is a reliable anchor in that lineup.

Michigan Small Business Spotlight is proud to feature Petoskey Brewing Company as one of Northern Michigan’s most welcoming craft beer destinations.
