Question 1

How can I secure my preferred date?

Clark B · Accepted Answer

In order to secure a date, time and venue space, Midland Brewing Company requires a signed event contract and paid deposit equivalent to the room fee cost for your event.

Question 2

What time can I access the facility on the day of the event?

Clark B · Accepted Answer

You may access the event space one hour prior to your scheduled event time (unless otherwise agreed upon with the Midland Brewing Company Event Coordinator). Midland Brewing Company requires all equipment, entertainment, decorations and others associated with the event must vacate the premises within 1 hour after the scheduled event time. Additional fees may apply if time is exceeded.

Question 3

What is the Red Keg Capacity?

Our capacity changes seasonally based on the use of our outdoor and patio seating space. Our minimum capacity for rental of the Red Keg is 25 people.

Question 8

Do you offer discounts for non-profit or military organizations?

Clark B · Accepted Answer

Yes. Both are entitled to a 10% discount on the room fee for a private event booking.

Question 9

How come you don't carry any domestic beers in bottles or on draft?

Clark B · Accepted Answer

There's a couple reasons why. #1 Is that we're proud of the beer that we make! #2 Because we are a microbrewery, licensing doesn't allow us to serve products other than what we make ourselves. #3 We support Independent Craft Beer and not the large beer companies that want to squash out the craft industry. We're coming for you, Big Beer! If you're looking for something for those who enjoy lighter beers, introduce them to our Isle Royale Cream Ale or Copper Harbor Ale.

Question 10

What kind of private events can I celebrate at the Red Keg Barrel House?

Clark B · Accepted Answer

At the Red Keg Barrel House, your possibilities are endless! We have hosted a wide variety of different types of events ranging from birthday parties, retirement parties, anniversaries, rehearsal dinners, weddings, and company holiday parties. It also makes a great place for business meetings or luncheons.

Question 11

We'd love to, but unfortunately it is against the law for us to mail or ship beer straight to our customers. You can check our beer locator map for locating some near you!

Question 13

How do you get anything done working around beer?

Accepted Answer

Good question! Believe it or not, brewery employees don't just sit around and drink beer all day... except once we punch out. Here at Midland Brewing Company, safety is our number one priority and being responsible is our secret strategy behind that. We may taste the beer throughout the day, but it's for quality control and educating our crew about new releases and sensory panels.

If you don't hear back from us, we ask that you are patient when waiting for a response.

Question 16

Can I have my birthday party, rehearsal, retirement, or shower dinner at Midland Brewing Company?

Accepted Answer

While we do our best to accommodate our patrons who are looking to celebrate life's biggest milestones, we sometimes have trouble due to the amount of traffic and events that we host.

We encourage all who are interested in celebrating their achievements at Midland Brewing Company to ask about our Red Keg Barrel House. Contact our events team by emailing events@midlandbrewing.com or calling (989) 259-7210.

We especially ask that they are accompanied at all times in the backyard, where you'll find our fireplace and assorted yard games.

The Cottage Creamery, right next door to our facility, has a very kid-friendly backyard and jungle gym that we encourage your kid(s) to venture over there too. Plus, they have ice cream and who doesn't love ice cream?

Question 18

Question 23

Am I allowed to bring my dog on your patio?

Clark B · Accepted Answer

YES! We love having four-legged friends on our patio. We only ask that they are kept on a leash at all times, and if they leave behind any messes we ask that you please clean up after them. Feel free to use our doggy receptacle bin and if they could use some refreshing water, don't hesitate to ask one of our crew members!
