Nice people running it. Loved the beer. Pizza made from scratch. We had pepperoni with ricotta & hot honey, so good! Plan on going back on one of the nights they have entertainment, read more

We visited Handmap Brewing in Battle Creek and we were super impressed. The atmosphere, the food, the service and the prices were all spectacular. This place went above and beyond with the fine details that create a fun, classy hangout. There were TVs in convenient places so you could watch College football and there were multiple fans doing just that. The pizza was delicious. We had the chicken/pickle pizza. It sounds weird but it was so good. I highly recommend this place. read more

Unbelievable atmosphere. Place has a great vibe. Great staff. Great drinks. They had a band playing when I was there and he was legit. Played excellent songs from the 60's and 70's. Nice menu for drinks. We ordered some pizzas and they were pretty good. Any pizza with hot honey is grade A in my book. The bartender named Rena was exceptional. Super friendly and nice as can be. The drinks we ordered were delicious. Nice basement, hidden alley vibes. Last thing to note, the bathrooms are exceptional Will return if ever in Battle Creek. 8.9 out of 10. read more

Great little brewery in downtown Battle Creek. Lots of delicious brews and seltzers. Limited food menu, but they have great hand tossed pizza. Live music makes this a great stop if you are in Battle Creek. They also have an outdoor patio near the entrance. read more

Wonderful service, amazing pizza, and good beer on top of it all! Pizza can rival any good Chicago pizza.

Great space for bar or party! Beer good, food good, staff friendly and comfortable crowd. Glad I stopped by on my visit to Battle Creek.

I really loved this place! The bartenders were so friendly and welcoming. All the locals were kind and helpful. The area itself is spectacular. The outside patio is huge and shaded. The view is great. Everything in this area is walking distance and parking was free!! The inside of the bar is quite large and they have a great variety of beers to choose from. I loved everything about it!! read more

Always friendly, timely service; the pizzas are always solid; the first time we ever went the staff made us feel as though we'd been going there for years; that same touch persists two years in. I am always impressed with the holiday decorations and the sheer volume of mugs which adorn the ceilings! Their seasonal beers are always tasty. read more

From the minute you walk in the great service begins. Both owners were there and so amazing. The beer was good but the Pizza.... It was great! This is a place to go for beer, pizza and atmosphere. read more

Rolling through Battle Creek, I thought I would stop at one of the local breweries and check out the scene. This spot opened during the pandemic and based on the hanging mugs of its Mug Club members has done an excellent job growing during these difficult times. Located in a building that has lofts above it [I think?], you walk in through a pretty nondescript door and it opens to a wonderful space. There is a small stage [no performance today] and then a long walkway with a bar to match. I tasted a few of the beers before settling on the Ruori [pronounced Roary] Red. Absolutely delicious. One interesting side note is that they don't accept cash here, card only. That was odd to me as I try to use cash at restaurants and bars so they don't get charged and CC fees and tips aren't lost for the staff. Overall, very nice brewery with good beers. Great service. read more

What a great place full of character, energy and welcoming faces. The beer selection was vast and had a little something for everyone. Some of the tables have the ring and hook game to challenge your friends while drinking beer. The outside patio was big and looked like it would be great on our next visit. Didn't try and food this round either. read more

Great beer and now pizza also! Handmap has a variety of beers from sours to IPAs to stouts, and also seltzers and wine. Never had a bad beer here, but I am partial to their sours. They have snacks/apps and now pizza, which is delicious. They have had some creative pizzas including hot honey pepperoni, and also some creative beers over the years! Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. They also have great merchandise and cans of beer (or to go cups for walking downtown)! Probably my favorite place in the city! read more

Here is one of the hidden gems in Battle Creek. If you are looking for a drinkable brew, this is your place. The inside of the brewery is awesome. It is in a lower level of the building so it has stone walls and a bar fit the theme. The brewery does have live music that they post in their Facebook page. The service has that home town feel that you are welcome there. The pizza. What I can say about the pizza is spectacular!! I highly recommend you try Handmap Brewery. read more

Cool atmosphere, and very friendly service. I had a color the creek, which has a delicious natural cherry flavor. We played cards against humanity with another couple at the bar, which was really fun! We'll definitely go back if we're in the area. read more

New pizza addition is easily the best za in bc. Beer is always great. Friendly service and good music most nights of the week.

When you pull up your handmap it will be hard to forget where to point. This might be my new home. Pinky no longer. Well. No. But this sure feels the same. Welcoming. Relaxing. You'd think now living in Chicago we are all about deep dish. That's for visitors. This sure stands right up and passes by to what us living in the city enjoy.It's all about the crust. Well done. What a Heff too!! A short cut exists from the station, worth missing your departure anyways. read more

EVERYONE from Michigan has used their hand as a map to show where they're from, at least once in their life. And Battle Creek's nickname of the "Cereal City", only seems natural to offer a froot loop flavored beer. So the names Handmap and Two Can (toucan) hold so much meaning to us locals. After their soft openings, and curbside/online sales, I finally got inside to experience it firsthand. Meeting the awesome owners, I thought I heard them say the doors had only been open for 3 days. The main entrance is tucked away behind the outdoor patio seating. When you walk in, it's the first door on the immediate left. The brewery is a nice combination of building history and contemporary updates. Lots of beer stein mugs are already lining the ceiling. They sell out fast for the mug club, so get there quick. 10 of their exclusive drinks are on tap, including one that's a cider. The Two Can froot loop double IPA has the slight aroma but doesn't taste like Froot Loops. After a glass of that, I got stuck on the honey infused Hopbee at a solid 9%. The brewery is just getting started so there's only a few snack sized bags of chips, pretzels or the like. There isn't a kitchen for any type of food or appetizers yet, but I hear it's in the plan. Overall for just getting started, and under the limited circumstances I think this place is off to a great start. Good place with good people making good beverages. First experience photos included read more

Beverages are great. Bartender made some recommendations on mixing a few beers (i.e Cid & Nancy) which created additional layers of deliciousness. Bar staff is top notch, friendly, and very knowledgeable of their product. This is such a blessing to have in BC. I highly recommend the Hop Bee or Two Can (great pun in the signature Toucan bird from Fruit Loops... an ingredient in the beer and homage to the cereal roots of BC). Both are legitimately amazing IPAs. I will be back often! I will also be on the lookout for when Mug Club memberships go up for sale! read more

I'm a Michigan native, and this is a hilarious name and logo for a local brewery. And the flavors were as creative as the name and marketing. Great vibe and enjoyed the friendly staff (felt like family). read more

Everything you except in a quality brewery. This place never disappoints. Jen is the best!

Great spot and now that they have some food, even better. Best brewery in Battle Creek. Pizza is the best in Battle Creek and that is not hyperbole. I go and order a beer and pizzas to go and everyone in the family is happy. . read more

Beers are excellent with lots of flavor. Atmosphere is warm and inviting. Highly recommend!

What an amazing story. Was able to talk to Jenn for a bit and she told us how they have had to make do with opening during a pandemic. Every beer on the list was great! The mug club idea is such a great idea. They have done their homework to make an amazing atmosphere! Keep up the good work and when we are need we will certainly come sit next to slim again! read more

Handmap Brewing was okay. They did not really have a big variety of items and no website??? Plus no ciders! So, not sure I'll be returning any time soon. read more

So glad to have a great brewery in BC. Great people. Great beer!

Stopped in this past weekend while meandering around Battle Creek, what a find! The location and space were great, and the customer service could not have been better. The beer was also fantastic - had their double IPA, Two Can, brewed with Fruit Loops (the beer was not fruity.) Highly recommend this place. read more

The only thing better than the beer was the service! Everyone we had the pleasure of dealing with super friendly and helpful. We tried 4 different beers while we were there and I wasn't disappointed in a single one. Ruairi was phenomenal and so was the music (we got lucky enough to catch vinyl night)! read more
