Description
Back in 1933, Michigan became the first state to ratify the Twenty-first Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would repeal Prohibition. We don’t know about you, but we’re really proud of that fact. When the Amendment was adopted, Michigan was quickly on its way to becoming a hub for amazing beer. Dozens of breweries sprung up across the state, including Midland Brewing Company, which opened in 1935 inside an old creamery downtown.
Midland Brewing Company developed some signature beers – like Red Keg Ale, named after the first lumber camp and saloon in Midland County. But during the Great Depression, times were tough and competition was fierce. Even with its damn good beer, the brewery lasted only a few years.
Midland Brewing was Reborn in 2010: Our small posse of entrepreneurs are connecting our passion for brewing Michigan Craft Beer to Midland’s early history – especially its first 100 years, defined by the lumber, railroad and beer industries. We reopened Midland Brewing Company on North Saginaw Road near the three-mile marker of the Pere Marquette Rail Trail, not far from Averill, where the Red Keg Lumber Camp sat by the Tittabawassee River. Since then, we’ve worked to carry on the legacy of the original Midland Brewing Company – we even brought back Red Keg Ale – while innovating our own signature brews like Copper Harbor Ale and developing new selections all the time.
Stop by and grab a beer or refill your growler today at our Restaurant, or you can find our beer at your local watering hole or retailer. You can sit back and unwind with a great beer in hand in our outdoor beer garden during the warmer months throughout the year. Our goal is to be a regional destination for great beer, food and fun.
