Upper Peninsula Brewing Company — Restaurant in Negaunee

#434 was an unexpected surprise opening. I've been tracking the progress of @upbrewingcompany for a couple of years now.

Each trip to the Marquette area I’d drive by hoping to see the OPEN sign. This trip the beer gods shined down from beer heaven.

On a hiking and brew tour with my brothers and sis-in-law, I saw a FB post that simply read “IT’S TIME!” Timed perfectly for Negaunee's Heikki Lunta Festival. Celebrating a mythical Finnish snow god, originated in the Upper Peninsula.

They suggested we rent a floor to bring (which costs $500). Then they didn't want to have to move any tables so they said we should just use the deck and they could put a canopy on it....for 111 guests at the price of $1400. They don't respond for days, have ruined our wedding reception and won't do anything to make it right even though they're the ones wanting all of the changes many months after our...

Some friends and I were in town for biking the Ramba trails and found this place. We ordered some beer and flatbread, it was overpriced and the beer tasted like piss. Possibly the worst beer we've ever tried. The flat bread had an off taste to it as well and later that night we all ended up with food poisoning. I can not stress avoiding this place enough. They need to be investigated for...
