Saugatuck Brewing Company.

Saugatuck Brewing Company

Saugatuck’s own microbrewery is great fun from the moment you walk in the door. You can brew your own beer from over 70 recipes from Summer Red Ales to deep dark Rich Porters. Or you can drink the brews they’ve made on tap.  And you can take both home with you.

With a schedule of Old Movies every week  and great music on the weekends the Saugatuck Brewery has become a fabulous place to be.
