Things To Do

Grizzly Peak Brewing Co.

Indoor and outdoor seating is available here. We enjoyed trying a flight of beers during one of our recent visits to Michigan. There are a lot of restaurants, bars, and shopping options in this downtown area as well. There is no Michigan Football game this week which tends to draw larger crowds.

Bløm Meadworks

We were pleasantly surprised when we tried mead here! When we last visited, seating was outdoor only unless you could prove vaccination. I would imagine that this is still the case. The person working here was super friendly and very knowledgeable. It's also in the downtown area which has many places to eat, drink, and shop.
