What can I say other than, we won’t be back. It is not the place we remember from 6-8 years ago. Beer was okay. Bartender definitely didn’t want to be there. It was 2 in the afternoon and the only people visiting were there for disc golf(which is cool) but no regular customers but us. The original fun atmosphere was gone from days of old and drinks were over priced compared to other local breweries. Stick to St. Joe, South Haven or Stevensville for great breweries.
Visited Arclight yesterday and was extremely disappointed. Place is large and open with plenty of games and a an outdoor space which would have been great to enjoy with our group. Unfortunately, the bartender/possible owner (man with gray hair and a ponytail) was exceptionally rude to our entire group (ages 25-82). We did have a large group but we were very patient and polite yet he was unnecessarily rude to us. He seemed to be very overwhelmed and voiced that repeatedly even with us telling him that we were not in any hurry at all. The few brews that we tried were fine at best, nothing great and service was AWFUL so we all left after barely finishing what we able to order. We will never return.
Nice big setting..nice staff great selection of beers
The cherry wit was delicious.
Currently here; brews are great, service is inadequate. Maybe bartender’s buddies are here and he’s too busy catching up with them.
We ordered a flight and did our own thing. We’re from out of town, I was hoping he’d at least give us the rundown, but whatever it’s fine.
Once we finished, we went back up to the bar to drop off our empty flight and to order more beer. Bartender comes to grab our empty glasses and walks away, didn’t ask if we wanted anything else. Instead, he continues to chat it up with his buddies and ignores everyone else. If it were busy, fine, but there’s literally 5 covers or less here.
Would recommend coming back for the brews, but don’t come for the service. There isn’t any.

If you're a beer enthusiastic, you need to get to this brewery! The Soursmith Kriek was one of the best US sours I've had. Similarly, the Red Raspberry is terrific and the Black Raspberry (almost a 4.5 rating on Untappd!) was outstanding. During my July 4 visit, they also had an excellent Pale Ale (collab with Livery) and a very pleasing Cherry Wit. I was also VERY pleased with The Olde Ways, a Belgian Dark Strong. Thanks to Andy at Arclight for suggesting this one!
I got to meet owner Dave and learned that they're aging the sours in custom built Foeders at another facility across the street. The Kriek was aged for 13 months and that effort shows up in the final product. Dave was a lot of fun to chat with and we also really enjoyed hearing from Andy, who served our beers on our first visit (we came back the following day for more!). Andy's passion and knowledge were fully on display.
Best of all, everyone I was traveling with really enjoyed the place! None of them was a beer geek but everyone found something they loved. And we ate some terrific pizza from the restaurant across the street (Local 3) while we relaxed on the patio.
Last thought - if they ever do a Gueuze I'm going to book a hotel and hang out here for a few days! Dave suggested that might be a possibility at some point, but they're knocking their current stuff out of the park.
Dang to the shizzle. This place is amazing. Great beer and amazing chill vibe. Love it

... cheers!!!
Arclight is an awesome brewery! Their craft run all styles and some have added flavors available. They have an outside area with fire pits, games and seating. Weekends often have food trucks. They are pets friendly as well. One of my favorites.
