13 Best Craft Breweries in Traverse City

“As experts in breweries we found this to be one of our favorites out of 75 different venues we have visited in the last three years! Can miss place for beer and mex food“

“Stopped in for a quick beer. The IPA on tap was good but they have a small line up of beers for how big a space it is. Inside nice concrete floor. Forward thinking bathrooms for men to change babies was a great touch. Has an outdoor patio area that looked like it could use a little tlc though...there was a surprising amount of space inside but I think it could be better spaced as the hightop tables seemed congested to me. Simple fixes. Just takes effort.“

“Earthen Ales is a pleasant place to enjoy a beer. I stopped by to try a flight of beers and really enjoyed their darker ales. It feels pretty casual and welcoming, and I like how it’s kind of hidden away back there. I’ll have to look out for their beers in my neck of the woods.“

“This place is incredible. A super great atmosphere with a ton of vintage pinball machines and some other arcade games. The beer was delicious & has a huge variety that you can't go wrong with. The pizza was absolutely incredible. I had that BBQ chicken and it was awesome. Great service too as the owner, Russ, was there to personally greet us. Definitely a must stop if you're ever in Traverse City. Keep Beer Curious!“

“Great brews and friendly staff! What could be better except free beer 🙄🤩“

“Ribs were good and those tots!“

“If you want just great beer, no crazy flavors, this is the place. There is no bad beer there, and the food is bonkers. Bonus, tons of live music.“

“I went to Farm Club while on a ski trip with my friends and we just loved this place! It has an amazing atmosphere and wonderful food and drink options.“

“Hands down, the best tasting kombucha on the market! You can tell that Cultured Kombucha Co. truly cares about its customers as well as promoting community-wide health and wellness!“

“Great place. Simple menu but everything we had was very good. We specifically had the chips and quest, chicken taco signature style, pork taco signature and veggie signature. All were good to great with chicken and pork as excellent. Beer selection is vast. There is a board up on the wall near the register we missed until round two.“

“This is a must visit and one of our forever favorites in Traverse City! The staff is the best you will find, we were greeted with such happiness and offered toys for the little guys right from the start. The bartenders were great and our hostess watched over us and helped us with suggestions and our order throughout the evening. We ordered some bomb beer, drinks for the kids and ended up sharing a handful of 1/2 pizzas. The beer was great and every pizza was absolutely amazing! When you have great service it shows and the staff here is above all others! They deserve and earn every 5 stars! Thank you for a great experience that we will remember for a long time.“

“Had great service tonight. Waiter gave my indecisive wife multiple samples. We split the lamb burger and banh mi. The lamb burger is excellent, the bahn mi’s sodium content was off the charts and super gross. They can’t all be zingers! Still love this place, check it out!“

We went to dinner at North Peak.
The pork chop with cherry sauce on top was scrumptious.
My wife had the delicious crusted chicken sandwich.
Our kids were happy as pie with their pizza and burger.
Our server Jack is a seasoned pro who was kind and attentive.

Nice Job North Peak! What a great place.
