Michigan might be known for its beautiful lakes, sprawling landscapes, automotive innovation, etc. -- but there is one important thing the state does extremely well: beer.
For beer enthusiasts, living in Michigan is a dream. There are hundreds of breweries, microbreweries and brewpubs across the state, serving up the finest craft beer around.
But which Michigan brewery is the absolute best? Who’s making the tastiest beer in the state?
That’s why we asked you! All last week, we ran a bracket challenge, with new voting rounds each day. One by one, the list narrowed until some of the most popular breweries in the state remained.
And the winner is ...
Our viewers ultimately chose Bell’s Brewery as the best brewery in all of Michigan!
Located in Comstock and Kalamazoo (on the west side of the state), Bell’s is well known for its popular Oberon, Two Hearted IPA, and Amber Ale.
All weekend, Bell’s competed in the Final Round against Short’s Brewing Company -- another large and popular Michigan brewery. You can see all of the breweries involved below.
Thanks for voting!
