About Blue Lake Biergarten

The Blue Lake Biergarten is Michigan’s first biergarten (beer garden in English) established at a working hop yard, Blue Lake Hops and Gardens. It is a place intended to have folks come together for beer (and other drinks), good food and an area attraction for visitors and residents alike. We have our long-table seating, as well as a few more intimate seatings for all to be able to find their place in the Biergarten.

The Blue Lake Biergarten is an outdoor space with tree shaded, pavilion type and picnic table seating. Spring and Fall are times when heaters and fire sources make a visit memorable. During the winter we have limited seating in our working greenhouse which welcomes locals and residents for a unique middle-of-the- woods experience. It is the Manistee-Huron National Forest around us!

• No Host or Hostess – Find your seat, expect to share your table and let your gathering meet others.

• No Table Service – Step-up to the Beverage Bar and our Hot Pot Food Trailer to get your beverage and tasty food choice.

• Food – Visit The Hot Pot here at Blue Lake Hops, or bring your own. We are not a full-service restaurant (but we do have a great menu). In true Biergarten tradition you’re free to pack-in a picnic basket with your own food. NO OUTSIDE BEVERAGES OR FOOD DELIVERIES ARE ALLOWED!

• Entertainment is a work in progress – It is our intention to offer fun but more eclectic styles of Entertainment not otherwise presented in the area. Our objective is something fun for the family!
