Barrel + Beam - Marquette, Michigan

The Marquette County Conservation District has hosted several events at Barrel + Beam, and each experience has been wonderful! Working with their events team is easy, and the catering available by Northwoods Test Kitchen is delicious. B+B provided us with a screen and microphone for presentations, and gave us ample time to set up our own decorations prior to the event start. We will be back next year 🙂

We hosted a bridal shower for my daughter at Barrel & Beam last weekend. The staff went out of their way to make it a wonderful event! They were very helpful in accommodating our group size and helping to make the space - which is already awesome! - intimate and fun. Everyone was cheery and ready to help. I can't say how much this meant to us 🙂 We traveled to the event locale, and yet felt very much at home. The in-house chef provided a fabulous meal and was more than accommodating for food allergies. She created a wonderful menu and everyone raved about the delicious food. The bar staff provided wonderful beverages made onsite and locally - we couldn't have been more satisfied. The rental, alcohol/beverages, and food prices were competitive, if not far lower than other local sites. I highly recommend Barrel + Beam as a party venue!

A diamond in the rough! This was The North Woods Supper Club when I was at NMU 30+ years ago. It was the place. The outside looks a little ragged, it's still really nice on the inside. Great beer, they focus on farmhouse ales and sours... but there was a lager here today. Service is Outstanding!! Love it.

We rented out the Barrel Room for our wedding reception this weekend. Throughout the months leading up to the wedding, the events team at Barrel + Beam was communicative, patient in answering our many questions, and full of ideas for problem solving. We were able to set up the night before our event which was an enormous convenience, and the space was beautiful for our intimate event (40 people total). We would definitely recommend working with Barrel + Beam for your event!

How have I not posted a review yet for these guys!? My favorite brewery of all time ran by the best people. My wife and I were married at Barrel + Beam back in 2019 and it was all we could have asked for. We plan 8 hr drives just to visit! Go, you wont regret it!

Fantastic selection of drinks (beer, mead, wine, cider, etc). Very relaxing atmosphere (low noise, reminded us of a coffee house but with beer). Cute outdoor seating and 3 levels of seating indoors. Great place to grab a drink and play some board games or just relax. We look forward to coming back.

Update: we made it back to Barrel & Beam after moving to the area. It was such a warm and beautiful atmosphere. I'm so glad we have a place like this so close to us now.

I've been here a number of times. Once for a food event that showcased the talents of local restaurant chefs. The event was fantastic. Their beer offering is mostly ciders and sours. It's worth talking to the bartenders if you have never sampled this type of beer. They offer frozen smelted pizzas and heard recently they opened and kitchen and look forward to trying. Don't expect a run of the mill brewery, they are definitely introducing your palette to many different flavors at barrel and beam, definitely recommend trying.

Absolutely stunning portrait of farmhouse style beers. Some of the likes (Cascade, Jester King, Jolly Pumpkin ) are all good breweries but don’t come close to the well balanced and not offensively sourness that Barrel and Beam have to offer. Their fellow European breweries where these styles originated would wholeheartedly agree. All of this goodness coming from one of the more remote places in the United States, Barrel and Beam is truly a unique gem in an otherwise crowded market of mediocre “craft” beer that will hopefully stick around to grace our palette one and again with their stellar offerings. My Fiancé and I absolutely adore this place ❤️
