Coolest Places To Fill Your Growler (While Supporting Local Breweries)

One of the things Michigan is most known for is our breweries. And nothing beats the delicious taste of a cool beer from one of our favorite breweries. With the addition of growlers, we can enjoy our favorite beers from our favorite local breweries from the comfort of our own home. We live in a fantastic area with plenty of breweries that are still open and doing growler fill-ups for our enjoyment. This way, we can stay home but still enjoy a delicious cold beer.

Please note that some of the restaurants are frequently changing hours because of the pandemic. Be sure to check out their website before visiting the store for precise hours and selection of craft brews. 

Here are a few places you can take that giant growler and get ready to stay home!
