About CONFLUXCITY Brewing Company

CONFLUXCITY Brewing Company is an independently owned microbrewery in downtown Portland, Michigan. It sits where the Grand and Looking Glass Rivers meet. Its website says the name means the flowing together of streams or rivers, and a gathering of people at one point.

The beer, wine, cider and seltzer are all made in-house, and the list rotates. Food comes from the Smoke Shack. Its website lists pulled pork, ribs, smoked burgers, wings and tacos.

Owners Jim and Kiley Hilligan are often around the place, its website says. The wood paneled walls came from their family farms. Jim began brewing in a basement in Virginia before opening in his hometown.

A 10 mile river trail runs right outside the door, and a park sits across the street, according to its website. Google lists a wheelchair accessible entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating.
