I will be in the tri-cities May 1st thru the 8th more in Saginaw/Frankenmuth area but am gonna spend a day in in the Midland area,I know there is Midland Brewing Co. and I see Witchcraft taproom, are there other places in town to seek out.Alot has changed since I moved away from home,don't know much anymore.Thanks in advance.
I''m not in Midland but have family there and I'm pretty darn sure Midland Brewing closed... witchcraft is pretty solid but besides that I'd hit up Eastman Party Store for bottles and call it a day.
Oh wow that didn't last long for Midland brewing,thanks.I used to go to Eastman party store back in the late 90's glad it's still around.
As a non-local I'm sure I'm missing some options though. Hopefully someone else jumps in and gives you more useful information. Cheers!
Diamond Jim's in Midland has a Kentucky Derby Party every year where they tap a keg of KBS. Looks like you will be in town for that. They usually have free food too. I will prob be going to the Derby Party. Whichcraft and Big E's in Midland usually have nice taplists. Eastman for bottles. The Michigan Tap Room in Saginaw is the best craft bar in the Tri-Cities. Oppermann's Cork N' Ale is a nice bottle shop in Saginaw. Both are def worth checking out. If you come to Bay City, we have Tri-City Brewing and Lumber Barons as far as are our breweries. Governor's Quarters and Tavern 101 are our two best craft bars. Ideal Party Store (two locations) would be your best bet for bottles in Bay City.
@oberon Don't be concerned that Michigan Tap Room is inside a bowling alley it is the best spot for craft that I remember when I was working in Saginaw a couple of years ago
I'll confirm that Midland Brewing has re-opened. I think it was reported in the recent issue of the Michigan Beer Guide.
That's the old Stardust Lanes right?Used to go there as a kid.It does look like Midland Brewing is open.I will be hitting up Michigan Tap room while in Saginaw and a few places in Frankenmuth as well.Thanks for the replies.
Also will be hitting up Cork n Ale in Saginaw as well.I usually blow way too much money when I go there.
If you are going to be in the Bay City area you can check out Tri-City Brewing's new building. I have not been there, but I always like everything that I've had in bottles from this brewery.
Big E's is having their 3rd Annual Kentucky Derby Party. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1979705075649145
