Brewery #266 Third…read moreLife Brewing is a true microbrewery: a small brewery doing good craft beer with no food and no frills. Third Life is located in the former office of an old warehouse that I believe was an old Iron Ore company ( if memory serves me right). The brewery even has the old safe still in wall. I got my usual flight that consisted of Cat Jammin'-Raspberry (Raspberry Wheat), Tomtoberfest (Marzen), S.S. Dankowiak (DIPA) and the Duke of Witch Tree (Hazy IPA). All of them were really good but the S.S. Dankowiak was the star of my flight board. Cool atmosphere with lots of table and board games. Good music playing and a cool brewery sticker. Who doesn't love a bear in a canoe?

My party suggested we stick around for dinner too, which I wasn't going to object to. I wasn't surprised to hear that we'd have a 35-minute wait on a Saturday. The staff was very accommodating and offered an empty room upstairs to wait and pass the time with some games. We asked if we could order some cocktails, and luckily the answer was yes. We placed an order with the hostess, and she brought those upstairs. Later, when there was a Shirley Temple spill, staff was gracious and whipped up another drink right away. Hospitality deserves five stars alone. What else deserves five stars? The cocktails of course. I had two "hotties," which were perfect with the wintry weather...and smart thinking. Who really wants a cold drink in January? The menu is simple, and much of the food is locally-sourced (huzzah). I vegetarian-ized the Christmas Dinner pizza, and it needed the saltiness/fatiness of the sausage. Still, I'll give points for creativity. Four stars. I get destination vibes from this spot, and I know I'll need to return in the summer months for the most optimal experience...but I was overall impressed with my winter trip. Five stars for Iron Fish Distillery!

The outdoor is absolutely amazing and you're essentially nestled in a forest. Nature on total display! The food was insanely delicious. We got the pulled pork, chicken sandwich, cheese curds and pickle fries... we basically battled each other for the last bites. And the Czech Pils beer, wowowow! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars for the sheer fact that I'm a Bears fan and wore a Bears sweatshirt... and they put the game on so I could watch. Didn't even have to ask them. Visit them, support them, and give them an awesome review!

The first was okay, the others were terrible. The s/o said he's never given that low of ratings on Untapped. Good service. Neat taproom. Good social distancing practices. Good outdoor area.

I immediately ordered the corn beef hash that came with 2 sunny side up eggs and sourdough toast. It was all delicious. I also ordered a flight of beers that were all solid. While they didn't have a hazy IPA (my favorite style) they did have a good selection. The Nightfall Imperial Stout was my favorite followed by the Manistee IPA (American IPA). The Hefeweizen and Lumber Baron Wheat beer were both solid. The place itself is very nice and the bartender was really friendly. The place wasn't very busy with only 2-3 other tables full when we left. They also make their own spirits for purchase.
