Description
The building known as the “Old Brewery” was first completed in 1898 and was used to brew Petoskey Sparkle beer until 1915. According to a 1973 article in the Petoskey News, the Petoskey Brewing Company was originally owned by Frank and Garrett Fochtman, A. Bremmeyr and John Zaiger, who also acted as the Brewmaster.

Since closing in 1915, the brewery building has served as retail shops, as warehousing and perhaps even as a goat barn. It wasn’t until 2012, under the new ownership of and complete renovation by Patrick Dowd and Lou Gostinger, that beer once again flowed within the walls of the “Old Brewery”.

Please come visit and witness a part of great Northern Michigan history.

Sample during the It Would Brighton MI Birthday If Yoopers Could Lake It To This Tasting! event on 09/18/2020. Slightly hazy yellow- gold color with a thin white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of raspberry, malt and wheat. Medium body with flavors of berries, wheat and bready malt. The finish is fruity and creamy with a short raspberry aftertaste. Decent overall.

Pint can from Tadych's Iron Mountain, 10/10/20. Black, large foamy tan head, good retention. Aroma of chocolate, mint, grain. Taste is roast, mint, coffee, dark chocolate. Thin, well balanced. Mint isn't overdone. Pretty nice.

Weird blueberry taste. Cheboygan’s take on this is better IMO. Glad i got 4 of these instead :(
