MiddleCoast Brewing Co

MiddleCoast Brewing Company & Benevolent Spirits Distillery occupies a beautifully restored historic building at 329 E State St in downtown Traverse City, Michigan. This unique venue was once the stables for the Traverse City Police Department, and the architects have masterfully preserved the original character while creating a modern, welcoming space for craft beverage enthusiasts. The brewery, founded in 2017, was revitalized in 2023 when two best friends took ownership—one overseeing the brewing operations and the other leading the distillery. Guests can enjoy a rotating selection of year-round, seasonal, and experimental craft beers alongside small-batch house-distilled spirits. The full-service kitchen prepares everything by hand with love, offering satisfying pub fare that pairs perfectly with their beverages. Notable amenities include pinball machines, a pool table, and multiple flat-screen televisions. The venue hosts regular events including Mug Club Mondays, Wednesday night trivia, open mic Thursdays, live music Fridays, and Sunday brunch. With an impressive 535 reviews earning a 4-star rating, MiddleCoast has become a premier destination for private events ranging from rehearsal dinners to corporate gatherings. The gluten-free menu options, including GF fried chicken tenders and flatbread, ensure everyone in your group finds something to enjoy.
