North Pier Brewing Company
Last Updated July 20, 2016
Why We Love It: In Benton Harbor across the street from an historic old inn and bar sits a brand new brewery. It's nestled on the front corner of a new development between two sections of Harbor Shores golf course. The building is stylish. Complete with glass overhead doors for opening up the tasting room in good weather, plus a nice bar, a patio and a new structure that hints at being a future outdoor party place.
Now for the beer. The first three tastes were a saison, a Belgian IPA and a Witbier (Belgian style ale). They were followed by an Altbier (German style brown ale), a porter and a Belgian Dubbel. Being a sucker for hops but preferring smooth finishes rather than bitterness, the first three were really on target. Exactly what I love most about craft beer.
North Pier’s brewmaster learned his craft in the UK. It's obvious he was a very good student.
