About me: Our products are made from the finest all-natural ingredients employing old world brewing techniques. True to the traditions of old all our beer matures in custom made large oak aging vats.
All Leelanau Brewing Company beers are aged in 100% new French oak. A new handmade custom LBC 1200L French oak barrel has arrived from our European coopers and is aging our new Petoskey Pale Ale as you read this. Another custom made barrel is underway..
Our headquarters are situated on 18 acres of family owned land located two miles south of Leland, Michigan. Our bed and breakfast, ancient black walnut groves, cherry orchards, pear groves and our future brewing site are all within earshot of Lake Michigan. *Our headquarters are not yet open to the public.*
Our on-site brewery is being designed with the help of Ron Jeffries to resemble an old world european farmhouse brewery.
Until we are ready to open our own doors- we're proud to have Ron make our beer at his facility. (Jolly Pumpkin Artisan Ales) Ron's artistic approach combined with his old world brewing style is exactly our kind of beer.
Our brewer Ron is widely recognized as being the best old world style brewer in the USA for his funky Franco-Belgian style brews.
In 2007, Beer Advocate published Jolly Pumpkin as the #8 American brewery for his mastery of old age monastic secrets of beer making. Read more..
Who I'd like to meet: To eat, drink and be merry with interesting folk.
