I know there is a good number of Trolls, Sconnies, and FIB's that like to get away from the concrete jungle and venture into Michigan's Yoop. There is good beer here, unfortunately they are fairly spaced out. He's a run down of what you can find based on vacationing region!

If I missed anything, feel free to add it! There will be some more things coming online within the next year or so. I know there will be a new brewery in Ishpeming soon, as well as one in downtown Calumet.
Doesn't sound like Upper Hand Brewing will have a tap room, so I'll leave that off.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about whats available at the moment on the shelves, or at some of these places, I try to keep a pretty good pulse on the U.P. scene.
