A “quick” trip to the Upper Peninsula (quick being a relative term) brought me to 51st State Brewing Co, a modern-looking nano-brewery located in Kingsford near the Wisconsin border.
It was near closing time, so I only had time for one beer. I selected Batty Mille (Blueberry), a blueberry flavored Wheat Beer. The blueberry was fairly pronounced without being overbearing, and the beer also had a heavy vanilla undertone that was quite pleasant.
Other beers on tap were a Brown Ale, Cream Ale, Blood Orange Wheat Beer, English Mild Ale, American Porter, American Light Lager, and a creative Double Coconut Mango Milkshake NEIPA.
On the food side, the brewery serves wood fired pizza and a few other dishes. My favorite: The buffalo chicken pizza with blue cheese – very tasty!
If you find yourself in the Kingsford/Iron Mountain area, stop by 51st State Brewing Company.
