Unlike the Lower Peninsula of Michigan, the Upper Peninsula is not covered as much with our blog posts and podcasts. We’re striving to provide more coverage, which is why we’ve put together this list of ALL Upper Peninsula breweries (as of September 2021) for craft beer fanatics to check out.

We utilized the Michigan Brewery Map app to locate the breweries and have listed them below in alphabetical order. The Michigan Brewery Map app is a great way to locate where the breweries are, what’s nearby, and to both connect with the breweries and take personal notes on each one.

If you’re heading to the Upper Peninsula later this week for the Michigan Brewers Guild U.P. Fall Beer Fest, use this list to find a brewery to stop by and support! Also, check out our post for the 20 beers you should check out at the fest.

How to Celebrate 906 Day

Celebrating 906 Day may be tricky, but it is possible. Go to (if you’re in the area) or plan on going to one or more of these breweries the next time you’re in the Upper Peninsula. If you’re able to find any beers from these breweries in distribution, grab them and crack them open while you celebrate Labor Day today. Supporting Michigan breweries is the main goal to celebrate 906 Day!

Any more?
