The Bartender greeted us as soon as we walked in. Beer was great. Had live music which was a fun vibe. Overall fun time.

Only 5 beers on tap out of the 10 handles available. Cool little neighborhood spot with really good service but don't think the beers are impressive at all. The red lager had good flavor but no head. With some head or good head retention it would push it over a 4 definitely say its the best beer of the four i had.

A nice little brewery but nothing exciting. The staff was friendly. A tiny small outside area, basically you stand at the porch railing. Unfortunately just one beer to go.

Small but a nice atmosphere. Kind of reminds me of a neighborhood American Legion hall but with a younger crowd. We will come back.

Small place with the feel of a local bar. Asked how the sour was made, the bartender said: “I don’t make it, I just pour it.” On the whole, a disappointing visit.

East Channel is a very small and quaint taproom with eight beers on tap with a nice variety. They also sell 16oz crowlers to go. Tending bar was one of their brewers. Very knowledgeable and fun. The patrons were also very gregarious. We would definitely stop back any time we were in the area. Really surprised to find this in such a small northern village. Oh, and their brews were very tasty…the best we found in the U.P.

Very impressed. 10 beers to offer. All styles represented properly. 3 different IPAs, one with tart cherries added. Surprisingly good! Great start. Just a beer garden right now, no food but shows a lot of promise as an establishment. Nice vibe, literally had a beer with the proprietor and the mayor of Munisiing. Super down to earth. Everything else aside, the beer tastes well thought out, not just hobbyists trying to make money at it. Worth checking out
