- Robert WardJune 19, 2015Quite possibly the best craft beer being produced in the U.S. And, the food at the pub is inspired and the staff is great in every way. Don't miss this stop!!!!!
steve simisonOctober 2, 2016Well worth the 4 1/2 hour drive! The Batch 5000 was one of the best beers I've ever tasted & all the others in a flight I had were also good. The pizza and nachos were very good. Try the pretzel app!
This is a little off the beaten path but it is worth the trip. Great beer and interesting an delicious food. Friendly staff too.
Mary M MottaApril 6, 2015fill a growler if you can! short's is some of the best craft beer in the state. and their food, especial apps, are equally amazing! try the pretzels with mustard, cheese, and pb&j, all made with beers
Nina HundtNovember 6, 2016Always loved the beer. Just visited the brewery. Amazing beer and cider, flavors for everyone. If you're not a beer person I suggest Octorock. This place is huge! Love it, live music, pool and darts.
Nicole HendricksonAugust 31, 2014Sketches of Winkle sandwich was incredible. As was the popper Mac n cheese. Try several things and share them. They have tasty beer too.
New Mission Organics HopyardSeptember 9, 2012Hanging Frank or the Kind Ale, when in season. The Kind Ale is a harvest ale using fresh wet hops from the Michigan Hop Alliance. All the hops come from the Leelanau Peninsula.
Daniel ForhanFebruary 8, 2014Fantastic beer, fantastic service, fantastic atmosphere. kitchen closes at 10:00 so get here early if you're trying to get some food.
RobbieSeptember 6, 2013Soft Parade is of course awesome. I liked the Local's Light. WTF OMG BBQ wasn't for me. Either was the lime beer. Awesome place!- The White Pepper sandwich is delicious. The sauce has a little bit of a kick, and it can be messy, but it's worth it.
Best, most innovative beer selection around - something for every/any taste. Outstanding pizza & sandwiches, too.
Possibly my favorite brewery to visit, amazing beer selection and great food plus live music!
Erik SkurkaAugust 31, 2018Great beers and great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Get the sampler and the buffalo chicken dip!
Paul ReaganJuly 7, 2013First time at Short's and it's awesome!!! Beer is great and the sandwiches are killer! Will be back next time I'm in the area.
Scott IdleFebruary 19, 2012The Gabriel pizza is excellent, even for those that can't handle spicy foods, as the jalapeños are mild and add a nice contrast to the pineapple.
Jennifer HsuJanuary 1, 2014Try the S'Mores Stout. Yes that's a roasted marshmallow on top. Enough said.
Nycole KellyJanuary 9, 2024Above average bar food and friendly staff. Of course the beer is good. :)

Niki ShawMay 6, 2012The pizza is the best...along with the home made Mac n cheese! Oober goober is outstanding!
Angela VargaJune 25, 2013This brewery is very worth the drive! Get off the beaten path and check this place out!!
Great live music and decent prices for great craft beet.
Dani EversApril 3, 2013You can schedule a tour. Check out their website for details. Tony was great!!
Stephen LacyJanuary 11, 2014In case of a bear, don't worry about out running the bear, just outrun your buddies!!
One of the best micro-brews in the country. Try a funky seasonal.
The "Puerto Rican Power" without chicken makes for a great vegetarian dish.
So very happy, would be happier with pretzel refills ;) 5 stars, none the less
Great beer, good food but the mammoth sized flies are a real problem. Flypaper could fix this problem. I've been a customer since the start but it is kinda gross.
Toni MarieOctober 22, 2011Try the funkin punkin its an outstanding seasonal. Best pumpkin ale ive ever had.
