Rusty Rocket Brewing is an exceptional place with personable owners and tasty brews. We were fortunate to be passing through when it was open and was able to sample a full flight (8 beers). Lisa was amazing and also made a sour beer for us. Such a hidden gem. Definitely be making a reservation in the future.

So glad to have been able to finally check out this delightful brewery. My hubby and I really don't speak beer, but the hospitable owners make it easy. I sampled many interesting brews but the wheat was my fav. My hubby preferred the blonde. Hard to go back to a regular beer after sampling that yummy and very reasonable brew. The crowd is diverse and welcoming, dogs & kids were welcome! Lovely grounds. Don't miss it!

Made to order sour!

I'm a bit of a beer snob, so I was curious to try the local brewery. I was blown away by the options. Everything from the caramel and sea salt on the rim of the Ol' St. nibs Coca Bliss, to the made to order sour experiment, where the acidity level is controlled by lactic acid, and sweetness by the fruit. They will also mix or customize almost any beer on tap. The facility is beautiful, indoor or outdoor seating, lake view, and the owners are extremely welcoming and sociable. It's a great place to spend an afternoon.

I had to take a nap before writing this review. That is a positive comment about Rusty Rocket. Their beer flights are a bargain. I had the full, which is eight glasses, and these were not petite. That was at noon, when we had made our appointment for. So once we got home, I ate crackers and cheese, before retiring for the snooze. The proprietor, the wife of a husband-wife duo, had remarked on the need to sleep if you enjoy a stint of day drinking. We showed up on their 32nd anniversary. We come to town every summer. That is not the exact place where the brewery is. Our rental was over in Fennville, the next village over, and usually the family has stayed in nearby Saugatuck. For fiteen years or so, our group, which is three generations, 14 people, plus 2 dogs, has trekked to the shores of Lake Michigan for a week. Some of the guys are home brewers. We all enjoy beer. So tours are on the menu. There are a surprising number of these businesses in the region, including those making cider. This particular craft operation is on the grounds of a former campsite. It was huge, back in the day. The couple who operate it live on the other side of the lake. They are "dog people," with many photos of their rescues above the bar. You have to make an appointment. Locals sometimes just stop by when they notice the tasting room is open. One of my nephews arranged everything. The lady in charge was personable and chatty. She is in the right line of work. The husband stopped in. He started the hobby to provide the drinks his wife preferred. They also host events there. It's serene. As for the beer, I enjoyed seven of eight pours. That is a good ratio. One just wasn't for me. It had a funkiness to the flavor. But that is just my sense of taste. I recommend the experience. We brought back a growler worth and some merchandise.

Delicious beer!

Really good brewery in a relaxing and happy setting. The service was awesome and the owners are very friendly.

A nice small brewery with quality beers, sours, and saisons. The location is an old YMCA camp and repurposed. They hold events and allows you to bring food. Great place to relax, enjoy a view and drink beer!

Awesome patio in the heart of downtown. We stopped in and didn't have to wait for a table - service…read morewas quick and the food was great. We had a side Caesar and a supreme pizza. The salad was good - I loved the dressing. It tasted a little salty but I'd get it again. The pizza was also nice - super thin and crusty. The dough is just simple and straightforward. Toppings were standard too - a classic pizza. Overall great restaurant! One of the best in downtown.

We had finished up our dune ride and were in need of lunch and found this spot on Yelp. Nate and I…read morewere able to get seats at the bar but it sounded like there was a bit of a wait for the patio. This place seems to be known for their pizza, but we had just eaten pizza the day before, so we opted for a side of fries, a side Caesar salad, and an order of the wings. Well, we ended up getting full portions of the side items, which was a bit of a bummer as we weren't super hungry plus it was more expensive. We'd just be more specific next time. The food was good, but we really should have ordered pizza. The Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful, but had a LOT of anchovies. I personally really like anchovies, but this was a bit much. The wings were huge and kind of gamey, and the skin was not crispy so they were not my favorite to eat. The fries were tasty but nothing special. I will give 5 stars for the beer! I had the lake noir, which was a blueberry/blackberry beer and the other fruit beer which was watermelon flavored. They were both fruity and refreshing and I really enjoyed them. I would come back for the pizza, which seemed a bit pricey but looked delicious.

No question this is a 5 star experience! Stop reading here and just go there!!!…read more In door or outside seating there's not a single bad seat in the place. We enjoyed the covered outdoor patio sitting area and great ambiance. This is such a smart beautiful little location Our waitress was very quick keep the water refills coming after a long day in the sun, and she had great recommendations. This place was hoping busy on a holiday weekend and we felt like we were her only table. Our family ate like royalty. From the amazing appetizers those stake nachos were banging good, but the spinach artichoke dip was on point, and stole the show! Buckle up because who in their right mind would make a pizza with crab Rangoon flavors... three blondes did, and it's delicious! while the pulled pork was good and anywhere else would have been perfect it was just good compared to all the amazing food on our table. What a wonderful problem to have so much epic food! And to top it all off, we had marvelous drinks from mixed berries cocktails to fantastic beers. I'm not from here, (thankfully) I'd be back daily! But my poor brother lives in the area and this place thunder struck him. He's already making plans to bring his friends back! In review, go back to the top of the review and just get here as soon as you possibly can you won't be disappointed!

My first time at Three Blondes Brewing, and I enjoyed it. We went on a Saturday night and had about…read morea 15-20 minute wait. The space is neat with a nice outdoor area and the building has a decent amount of parking. The service was a bit slow, but the food was fantastic. The tacos were delightful and the pretzel was to die for! Overall, highly recommend for a stop in South Haven if you don't want to deal with downtown traffic.
