What Our Guests Are Saying
Recently visited Marquette and decided to pop out here quick and check these guys out and glad we did. Nice space with plenty of seating at the bar and around the taproom. Got a flight of beer, all of which were well made, and the gentleman tending bar was very friendly and chatted us up about the beer scene in the area. Worth a quick trip out if you're in the area.

A HUGE thank you to the staff at UPBC! We recently held our baby shower at the brewery, and the staff was amazing. Renting the space was easy, and everyone had a great time! Thank you again, we are lucky to have such a nice event space in Negaunee.

Always a great variety of well made beers. We especially love the night shift and any IPA. The seltzers are always exceptional, the bartenders at friendly and polite, and I’ve discovered a variety of new songs while sitting and listening.exactly what a UP Saturday should look like."
