The bartender was friendly. The only redeeming food star was my daughter's Chicken Alfredo. We all liked that! However the rest of the entrées were a let down. My son's penne pasta with chicken lacked pesto and chicken. My wife's Caesar salad was in her words, "nothing special." My Greek salad with lemon vinaigrette had no lemon flavor whatsoever. My chicken may have been trying to identify as croutons. Yikes! Everyone's chicken portions were so small I'm not sure if they were for a toddler or a really small bird. Most of the food was a letdown. Drinks mioght be considered a redeeming factor and encouraged my review to push from a 2 star to a 3 star: Blueberry Tart Lager - liked it, I'd order it again Manistique Lager - exactly what you'd expect in a Vienna Lager by BJCP style standards I just wasn't feelin' it. Hazy IPA - was lackluster like a dusty old surfboard Blood Orange Seltzer - my risk-it-for-the-biscuit choice ...oddly satisfying. It tasted a little like a creamsicle. My wife's blackberry cider was on point. Send it to us trolls down in the lower peninsula. Kids enjoyed "homemade" root beer. All in all, we spent around $90. I expected more for lunch at that price point especially from place where they claim everything is made from scratch except the BBQ sauce and Caesar dressing.

The bar tenders were friendly as well. You can buy cans to go, but be sure to check the dates they were canned if it's not currently on tap, so you don't get a beer that's 6+ months old and possibly sour (we got one like that, but they happily let us swap). Driftwood next door was also great, good flatbread selections.

Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more To be fair, you need to drive 30 minutes out of your way to get anywhere in the Upper Peninsula, but ByGeorge would be a worthwhile trip. They have everything I look for in a brewery - outdoor seating that's dog friendly, food handily available, and a solid beer menu. Our bartender was friendly and knowledgeable. Super helpful to mama as she tried to decide which beers to get in her flight. They actually have two outdoor seating areas - a nice patio just off the bar and a rooftop deck above the patio. We arrived too late to order from their kitchen but there's a pizza joint next door that looked like it had good stuff too. Overall, good experience, and I'd be happy to drive a half hour off the beaten path to visit again. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here

What an unexpected delight!…read more My kids and I had been visiting the garden Peninsula and did not have any concrete plans for our dinner. Once again yelp came through and we found this place in Manistique. The bear selection is extensive and impressive. In the end I went with a short glass of cider. It was nice and crisp and had the right flavor balance. Very refreshing on a warm day. The tap burger was an inspired creation. I loved the use of balsamic and bacon jam. The burger itself was perfectly cooked with a pink center that wasn't bloody. We also enjoyed a plate of garlic cheese balls prior to the entrée, very well-made and lightly breaded without being too greasy . The service was terrific and we had at least two people visit our table while we were there. The room is boisterous and energetic and they benefit mightily from having the high ceiling which gives you a nice spacious feel. I would love to come back someday.

The Upper Hand lager and Yooper pale ale were both excellent and enjoyed the UPA pale ale also. The Upper Hand IPA was good - just a little too piney for my palate.

One is the indoor tap room for those winter months and the other is the larger more beer garden/tap room to hang outside during those warmer months. We stopped here on a weekday night and there were probably only 6-8 people here and we were the only ones sitting outside. We just ordered a few pints each as the selection is somewhat small. I just got 2 different IPA's, A Speedball Tucker and an Old Tru's. Both were solid. They had a food trailer outside but it was closed when we went. I did see a couple bring in a pizza from across the street so I assume they are cool with outside food. Seems like a solid place to hang and have a beer for the locals.

The waitress looked at me suspiciously and said "Well what's wrong with it?" I told her it was mostly the texture and it didn't really taste like spinach and artichoke dip. She said she would ask the owner. He said no. I don't believe the customer is always right but in this case, we weren't wrong. The dip is terrible. So understand, you're going to buy terrible food and it will not be taken back. Side note: The rest of the food wasn't good either but i was hungry enough to get half of my sandwich down. It wasn't good but it wasn't as bad as the dip.
