Located just a block from Lake Charlevoix and downtown shops, this laid-back brewpub is a favorite among locals, weekenders, and visitors staying with Vacation Properties of Northern Michigan.
Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century railroad office, Stiggs offers not only great beer and house-smoked BBQ, but also an atmosphere that captures the spirit of the North.
Small-Batch Brews with Northern Michigan Character
Stiggs features a rotating selection of over a dozen house-brewed beers, ranging from crisp lagers and hoppy IPAs to bold stouts and seasonal experiments. Their beer list also includes guest taps from other Michigan breweries, plus cider, wine, and house-made root beer.
Popular Stiggs brews include:
- Derailed IPA – A bold, hoppy classic
- Boyne Thunder – A smooth and malty amber ale

- Rotating seasonals that highlight local ingredients
You can enjoy a pint in the cozy taproom, take a flight on the porch, or grab a growler to go for your vacation rental.
