INTRODUCING
ORE DOCK BREWING COMPANY
What began as an
idea on a cross-country road trip several years ago is
about to become reality with the Ore Dock Brewing
Company, a craft brewery in Marquette, Michigan. With
the paperwork finally finished, renovation of a historic
downtown building, located just up the hill from the old
ore dock, got underway in November. Completion is
anticipated for Spring 2012. Until then, we're excited
to see the transformation take shape and look forward to
documenting it here.
As a "microbrewery," our focus will be on providing a
wide variety of beer styles in addition to fostering the
local interest in the brewing of craft beer. We consider
brewing to be a "craft" and, whether you are brewing in
your garage or on a huge production system, brewing a
good beer and sharing it with others is a great way to
bring together friends or even an entire community. We
are proud to live in a town that is currently supporting
two brewpubs and a nanobrewery, and look forward to
doing our part to be a leader in the craft brewing
revolution.
People in the U.P. work hard, take great pride in what
is produced locally and have answered the call in
supporting and improving the local economy. The name
"Ore Dock Brewing Company" was chosen because we see our
local ore docks as grand and iconic reminders of
Marquette and the U.P.'s past, present, and future
identities. We hope to provide a product and
establishment that our community can be proud of for
many years to come!
