About 51st State Brewing Company
51st State Brewing Company is a brewpub on Harding Avenue in Kingsford. It is a family owned and operated microbrewery. Beer, pizza and fresh sourdough bagels all come from the same address.
It started as a hobby. Owner and brewer Jeff Brickey made his first five gallon batch in his basement, and friends kept asking for more. His wife Victoria and his children Ben and Vica now help run the place.
There are six flagship beers. State of Superior is a hop forward session pale ale, and 3 Vagabonds is a light American lager. Batty Millie is a wheat beer with muted vanilla and blueberry notes.
Ski Jump IPA, GC-4A Glider porter and Woody Wagon scotch ale round out the six. The brewery also makes seltzers, wines and meads. Alpha Michigan Brewing Company is 21.6 miles away if you want a second stop.
