About Upper Peninsula Brewing Company

Upper Peninsula Brewing Company is a brewery and taproom in Negaunee. It sits in a historic building that once served as a hub of industry in the region's early days. Today the building is a place to gather over a pint.

The flagships include Night Shift, a light bodied black ale, and Caving Grounds, a blonde ale. A rotating Belgian witbier, ciders and seltzers join them, along with small-batch wine. Dirty seltzers, slushies and dirty sodas round out the menu.

The taproom is family and kid friendly, with a dog-friendly deck and both indoor and outdoor seating. The kitchen turns out pizza, flatbreads and a beer cheese pretzel. You are also welcome to bring your own food.

A private event space hosts birthday parties, work gatherings and weddings, with ceremonies on the lower level and larger celebrations upstairs. The brewery says it won the 2026 Hop Passport March Brewsanity National Contest.
