Handmap Brewing — Restaurant in Battle Creek

Hand Map location makes for a very nice setting to enjoy cold beer and great pizza outside. However; as nice as the outdoor seating area is, do not underestimate the “real pub”feel of sitting inside. From the mugs hanging from the ceiling to the beer menu on the chalk board, the atmosphere starts maki g you get in the mood for cold craft beer! When it comes to craft beers, I’m generally not a fan of the fruity stuff and that’s true with Hand Map as well This isn’t a commentary on the quality of the different beers (and there are a lot of choices) it’s really more about my beer preferences.

Ok, we went to Hand Map on a recommendation because of their pizza. We had been here many times before but before they started the pizza offering

We got there, took our place at a four top high table right next to a window. This made for a great setting to be with friends. Service was immediate and pleasant. After looking at the menu, I chose a Mexican Lager and I was not disappointed! My wife had the stout, because she ordered a second, guessing she enjoyed her selection as well.

We then looked at the pizza menu and decided on the Hawaiian. Not everyone’s choice for pizza but it brought back memories from long ago when we would order a Hawaiian from Jackie’s!

This pizza is the real deal. Crust was fantastic as was the sauce. The balance of sauce to topping was right on so you were able to enjoy the crunchy tasty crust, the very fresh tasting sauce and of course the cheese, pineapple and ham toppings. Our friends got the meat lovers minus bacon (who takes off the bacon? ) and they thought it was fantastic. We got out of there for under fifty bucks that included fairly generous tip.

Four beers, pizza, great place and enjoyable night with friends and for under 50.00....

We used Handmap Brewing for our rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding. We loved the beautiful look of the brewery, which can be seen in the photo attached. The staff was amazing from planning to the event to the actual day! We had plenty of room for our guest size of around 25, and had an open bar with a pizza buffet. Our guests loved trying all the different types of pizza and the drinks were so good! They had something for everyone- beer, cider, and other beverages for those drinking alcohol/not. Our family and friends were very impressed! Parking was very convenient- and the overall vibe was very warm/friendly. I will definitely be coming back- and recommend anyone planning a rehearsal dinner in the Battle Creek area to use them! They were priced fairly compared to others we checked...

So we wanted to try the breweries in battle creek cause we heard great things. We stop at this place called the handmap, and I’m not kidding, never again!!!! We drove 3 hours to check this place out and the girls behind the bar were so rude. We asked for samples to try their beers and the girls were getting annoyed, mind you there are four of us who never been here, the the one waitress pawns us to another because we were asking questions about the beers? Like you work at a brewery if you can’t answer questions for your customers you should not work at one!!!!!! Horrible experience and NEVER AGAIN!!!!! New holland brewery by far was the best!!!!! At least they were happy to answer our questions that we bought beers and bourbons to take back to...
