Beards Brewery is a microbrewery founded in 2012 by two Petoskey, Michigan locals Ben Slocum and Peter Manthei. From 2012 to 2017 they created more than 100 recipes inspired by local, seasonal products and beautiful Northern Michigan. Their original pub featured ten taps, plenty of board games, local art, a record player and was known for unique community events. In April 2017 they moved to the new home, on the edge of downtown Petoskey, overlooking Little Traverse Bay. The newer location offered more space for local art, game and trivia nights, community events, concert series for local musicians, and more. A huge outdoor patio overlooking the bay has a firepit, plenty of seating, and direct access to the bar. There are now 24 taps and a popular food menu with pizzas, burgers, wings; Pho, Soba, and Poutine. Beards Brewery currently distributes beer in draft and in package all over Michigan.
