51st State Brewing Company got its name from a 1970's proposal, involving the secession of the upper peninsula of Michigan and possibly portions of northern lower Michigan and some northern counties of Wisconsin.
The proposal was spurred on by cultural differences, geographic separation and its belief that the capitals in Lansing MI and Madison, WI ignored the problems of the "Superior Region".
Efforts to secede and form a new state date back to 1858. In 1897, another proposal for succession was introduced and in 1962 an association was founded to advocate for the formation of the State of Superior. Efforts continued into the mid-1970s. Today, support still exists for U.P. statehood, although no organized movement is currently active. This is our small part!

Happened upon this place on my travels through Kingsford, MI and glad we stopped in. The space itself is set up very nicely and had a nice up north cabin charm to it. The beers that we had were all very well made and tasty and was happy to see a Kolsch on as I feel that is a style not seen very often. They have some pizza, appetizers and some lighter fare; the pizza was absolutely delicious. Friendly vibe and the owner stopped by out table briefly to chat us up and was super friendly and happy to talk about his space. Definitely worth a stop if your travels bring you this way.
