Blackrocks Brewery, Marquette, MI
Craft Brewing | Marquette, Michigan | Michigan's Upper Peninsula
Marquette County on Michigan's Upper Peninsula is home to the clean, cold water of Lake Superior--and the thriving craft beer scene made possible by this uniquely pure resource.
The brewers of the region discuss what they love about Marquette-- its abundant wilderness and outdoor recreation opportunities like fishing, canoeing, biking and kayaking--and how the water of Lake Superior has shaped brewing in Marquette since the start of the craft beer revolution through today's booming brewery scene.
In Marquette, superior water makes superior beer.

The cliffs are called Black Rocks, and they're an incredible formation of black granite cliffs that rise 20 ft. above the crystal clear and frighteningly freezing waters of Lake Superior. For generations, people have been coming to Presque Isle Park with the intention of jumping from the black rocks into the waters of Lake Superior.

Michigan Brewery Road Trip
After securing an interview with Founders Brewing Company in Grand Rapids Michigan, the Better Beer Authority decided to make a vacation out of it - ROAD TRIP! We hit 11 breweries in 3 days and sampled beer until our palettes were complete mush. It was a blast. Watch the video and travel along with us.

We arrived on Thursday night and hit Bell's Brewery in Kalamazoo, MI -- Ratebeer's #3 rated brewery in the world -- We wanted to interview Larry Bell, but that punk wouldn't return our phone calls, But I ain't bitter. So, we just decided to have a few warm-up beers at the Eccentric Café, which is their brewpub. We didn't want to get too crazy because we had an early wake-up call for our interview at Founders the next day and I had to get my beauty sleep. We had some samplers that came on these cool platters in the shape of the state of Michigan and called it a night soon thereafter.
The next morning we woke up early and headed to Grand Rapids, Michigan for our interview at Founders. We set up the interview in their boardroom and I wasn't sure what to expect. When Dave Engbers and Mike Stevens, the founders of Founders, walked in at 10am and offered us a pre-interview beer I knew it was going to be a great talk. I can't say enough good things about Founders. The guys running are a ton of fun and they have some amazing beer. Please check out the full interview with them on our Youtube channel. After the interview we went to their taproom and we could have stayed there all day. They had a great selection of beers and the beer hall was already buzzing by lunchtime. But we had other stops to hit, so we loaded up and headed to Brewery Vivant.

Our final destination for the day was New Holland Brewing Company in Holland, Michigan. This was definitely one of the breweries I was most looking forward to. I love their beer called The Poet, so it was a real treat to get that on tap. The bar was hopping with a live band. Knowing that this was our last stop, we relaxed a little and had some fun. Richard ordered Das Boot and we finished our night off with 2 liters of Mad Hatter IPA -- which was a great way to end the day.

Dark Horse Brewing Company in Marshall, Michigan was one of our favorite stops on the trip. They had great beers and a cool brewpub with mugs hanging everywhere. Our waitress found one of the brewers, Dave, to give us a tour of the brewery. They have an outdoor garden area with a stage that would be a lot of fun on a warmer day. On the tour, we met Wiggs, their resident hippy and production manager. Afterwards, we went up to their VIP loft where the tours go for for tastings. We shared a few samples with Wiggs and learned more about Dark Horse. They are currently #26 on ratebeer's Top Breweries in the World list. When we were about to leave, Wiggs gave us a case of beer for the road. In it were six bottles of Bourbon Barrel Aged Plead the 5th, which ended up being the Better Beer Authority's #1 beer of 2012. You should definitely stop at this brewery if you are in the area.

John and Margaret's Marquette Michigan Wedding Film
We are Matthew Hill Creative, a wedding videography company based in Marquette, Michigan. You can see more of our work at matthewhillcreative.com
We first met John and Margaret when they were visiting Marquette to do some wedding planning during the winter. They are the kind of people who always have a big smile on their faces and that joy that they share is contagious!
The ladies got ready at the Penthouse of the Landmark. They had a beautiful view of the city as they prepared for the day! The men got ready at an AirBnB that was perfect for their group. Everyone was transported to the Presque Isle Bandshell for the wedding ceremony by the trolley.
John and Margaret’s ceremony was so perfect. They wrote their vows together which were beautiful. Our favorite part was the Blessing of the Hands in the ceremony where their parents placed a cloth on their hands and a beautiful blessing was read while the parents placed their hands on their children.
After the ceremony, the group took a little hike through Presque to some quieter cliffs than Black Rocks for portraits. Then the trolley took them all to board the Pelican, a private yacht that took them around Lower Harbor. Their reception was at the Yacht Club and the wedding party arrived on the Pelican! We even got some drone footage of the boat arriving.
From there, all the people that love John and Margaret partied through the evening. When quiet hours began, everyone headed to the Delft Bistro for snacks and to watch the Michigan State game. John and Margaret’s happiness was felt by all throughout the day. We absolutely loved being a part of it all!
