Brewing came to the upper Peninsula in the 1600s, when French fur substituted pine needles for hops in batches of spruce beer. Promoted as a health drink, the evergreen suds remained in favor with the British army when it occupied the region. German immigrants drawn in by the mining boom introduced more variety to the area's fermented beverage selection, and the first of many commercial breweries opened in Sault Ste. Marie in 1850. Today, Keweenaw, Blackrocks and Ore Dock Brewing Companies are a few of the local craft brewers canning, bottling and shipping the malty flavor of the Peninsula throughout Michigan, Wisconsin and beyond.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Strong on history, not so much contemporary submitted by edwardvielmetti on June 17, 2017, 2:25pm There is a long heritage of brewing in the U.P. The reader will find this volume strong on its coverage of pre-prohibition beers, but less so a guide to U.P. beer produced in the current day.
