A small, community-rooted brewery in the charming village of Lake Ann, about 15 minutes from Traverse City. Lake Ann Brewing's relaxed taproom sits across from a lovely park. The adjacent Stone Oven restaurant means you can bring excellent wood-fired food into the brewery. Small tap list, big local charm.
Traverse City has been called one of America's great craft beer destinations — and Lake Ann Brewing Company is part of that story. Whether you're a dedicated beer enthusiast or simply looking to explore TC's broader craft beverage scene alongside the wine trail, this is a stop worth making.
Day trip note: Lake Ann is about 15 minutes southwest of Traverse City. Easy to combine with a Sleeping Bear Dunes day or the Crystal River trail system.
Hours vary seasonally — confirm directly with the brewery before your visit. Walk-ins are welcome during regular taproom hours. Groups and events may require reservations; contact them directly for details.
