Description
Savor the Northern Michigan outdoors at our brewery & year-round beer garden.

We founded Hop Lot in 2015 with a desire to create a family-friendly brewery that boasted a tap list full of traditional ales, plus a beer garden embracing our Northern Michigan outdoor surroundings. Our unique outdoor beer garden features a host of campfires, picnic tables, outdoor games, and more. Take a stroll through our hop garden or sip one of our favorite brews in the tap room while enjoying our middle-of-the-woods ambiance.

Visiting Traverse City for the weekend? You can find us right on M22 in Suttons Bay, MI. We’re right in the midst of popular biking and hiking trails like the TART Trail. We brew all styles of beer for a wide range of palates, and we’ve always got something fresh on tap. Check back often to see what’s brewing.
