    Great place to hang if you love beer! (and who doesn't). Just a wonderful variety of beers which we tried many and ALL EXCELLENT! Oktoberfest was especially tasty. The other nice aspect is that they have a variety of sizes/prices available. Sean the bartender was phenomenal in letting me try samples and giving a background on each as well as history of ByGeorge itself. (George is the owner/head brewmaster). They also have a large outside patio/beer garden area when weather is nice. The other extremely wonderful aspect is that the brewery is connected to the Driftwood Deli (open from 11-9). They have a wide variety of food to choose from but the best part is you can bring the food into the brewery OR bring the beer into the deli, an awesome arrangement. This is THE place to go to in Munising.

    Beers On Tap - good and bad!

    Holy disparity! Galactic Sorrow Russian Imperial Stout is very, very good - exactly the kind of beer I am always searching out. Nighthawk Dry Stout is very, very bad - the dominant flavor is char. Imagine my shock at Eh! Burger, seeing that only the latter was offered! As for "the rest of the story" - the bartender was friendly, and it was nice to be able to get food from the next-door Driftwood Deli. I recommend you stop in - just be careful what you order!

    We stopped at ByGeorge again and it didn't disappoint! Friendly service and delicious beer!

    Good stop, part of the beer tag. Food was from the deli in front of the brewery. The golden was good.

    Brewery #276 This is exactly what a brewery should be. Good beer, experimental fun styles, good food, a fun area to hang out. ByGeorge is all of those things and then some. We came here around lunch time one day and ordered a flight. I was immediately impressed with ByGeorge's beer board. Most beer boards have just standard style beers (Stout, IPA, Porter, Hefe, Red Ale, etc) or they have 14 variations of hazy IPA's. I like all of those things but ByGeorge has the standards and fun things like a Watermelon Milkshake IPA, a maple blueberry pilsner, an apricot blonde ale and others. I ordered my standard flight of 4 beers: Watermelon Milkshake IPA, Yeti Confetti Chocolate Birthday Stout, Unicorn Piss (hazy IPA) and a Maple blueberry pilsner. They were all really good or at least interesting. The Yeti Confetti were both phenomenal. As a matter of fact when I came back the next night I ordered them both again. While the beertender was pouring my beer I was staring at the biggest selection of brewery stickers that I have ever seen. I was almost overwhelmed trying to decide which one I wanted to put on my garage brewery wall back home. We ordered sandwiches from The Driftwood Deli from the QR code on the tables and they were delivered to us. Really good pressed Reuben. The outdoor area has a bunch of tables and a rooftop bar to hangout as well. Really nice informative beertenders to help you decide what to drink if you are unsure.

    Unicorn Piss hazy ipa, and fun swag for sale

    This is the loveliest brewery in town. I really enjoyed the Hazy IPA known as Unicorn Piss. There are fun beers for everyone. You also get excellent banter and friendly service. I adore the staff, and knowing some of the history of the owner made it even more fun. George definitely knows beer. They have fun swag, some food next door to order, and a great patio, too. They even have live music. What a fun stop when you are in Munising. Join the fun and get in here.

    Tasty Beer for reals. We're from Yakima which is the land of Hops. Their Elephant Disco IPA is spot on.... Cheers..

    Beer is delicious. There is something for everyone here. Great live music. Lovely gear and staff.

    Very cool neighborhood brewery featuring live music on weekends and 3 food trucks to choose from. A…read moregroup of us came here on Saturday night and this place was hopping! The inside and patio were packed with happy people enjoying beer and music. There's barely any room in the rooftop. There are 3 food trucks but one of them was closed (egg roll truck). We were able to order some delicious burgers and German pretzels from the other two food trucks. Longer wait due to the crowd but to be expected. Beer was excellent! Pro tip- try to find street parking if you can. Otherwise it's $10 in the private lot across the street. It gets very busy on weekends.

It's a beautiful view of the lake and has a sunset point. It was very windy and the lake appeared to be an ocean. Anyway, back to the brewery. The brewery was only a short distance from what I suppose is it's namesake. There was a group of about six musicians playing a variety of music which I assumed to be Irish (Gaelic?) We lucked out getting two of the three bar seats. The bar area is pleasantly rustic and we really enjoyed our custom sampler of five, maybe six beers (I forget). My wife and I ordered a completely different set. All were excellent. When ordering, I failed to notice that one contained habanero peppers. I noticed my error on the first sip, but enjoyed it. Great place to go for some delicious on-site brews. Oh, they have a membership where you buy your own pottery-like mug. They are close to 1000 mugs and hung from the ceiling, on the wall, and in back rooms. They are numbered on the bottom. Very cool place.
