7 Best Craft Breweries near Lakewood

Icarus Brewing Brewery • $$
1790 Swarthmore Ave unit 3 lot 2, Lakewood

“While traveling for softball, we try to stop by local breweries. While in Jackson, we found Icarus on Yelp! and figured we'd make the trip. So glad we did. Nestled in an industrial park, we spotted the outdoor umbrellas. Coming into the AC was a big relief from the heat and amazing art covers the walls. We were greeted by Jim, the front end manager before we reached the bar. He got us started with a few tasters while he led us on a super detailed tour. He answered our questions and even tapped in Jason for our more technical curiosities. We ventured back to the tasting room for some more libations. They have tasting glasses and 26 beers on tap at any given time and constantly rotating! Would I come back? Absolutely! This one is on the list for sure!“

Seven Sons Brewing Brewery • $$
2224 US-9, Howell - 7.25 miles

“Easiest 5 star review I’ve written. I had my husbands 40th surprise party here on a Saturday afternoon. David made it so easy to plan. He saved the date months in advance and assured me there would be a designated area for my 25 guests. Everyone LOVED the drinks and overall vibe of the concrete and metal rustic decor. Kyle rocked the taps on a busy Saturday and was so easy going. I’m so happy I chose Seven Sons and I will certainly be back. My friends had such a great time they purchased some gear and took some of the IPAs to go. Thank you so much again David and Kyle!!“

“We had our wedding reception here 8/26/23 and had an absolutely amazing time! Christy and her staff are absolute professionals. The space was gorgeous, the food was delicious, the whole experience was so comforting and beautiful. Everyone loved the food, especially the meatballs, they even made delicious vegan dishes for some our guests! They went out of their way to be as accommodating as possible for us, which was more than we could ask for. If you are looking to have a beautifully quaint and affordable wedding reception, Artisan's is the place for it! We would like to thank everyone at Artisan's who helped make our special day wonderful! We can't wait to come back for our wedding anniversary dinner this year. Definitely going to be a worthwhile tradition.“
