Here Are The 10 Best Breweries In Lansing Via Yelp

Local breweries have grown in popularity over the past decade in the United States and in Lansing. We have over a dozen breweries in the Lansing/Mid Michigan area. What are the best breweries in Lansing?

I am a recovering alcoholic, I have been sober for over 5 1/2 years. When I talk about these places it's because I have been there and have some fun memories or I have utilized our favorite tool when it comes to "ranking", Yelp. I am comfortable with where I am at in my recovery to hang with friends at breweries, the reason I go is for the converstation, laughs and food.

Breweries started out as, well, breweries. Competition started popping up throughout the area. At some point the breweries had to say to themselves, "what are we doing or not doing that sets apart from the competition?". Robust menus have been added to some breweries while some breweries keep it simple with easy food like pizza and sandwiches.

Regardless of what you are going out for, you'll have plenty of options to choose from. Perhaps you could do a test for yourself. Arrange for a designated driver, utilize driving services like Lyft and Uber or simply take the CATA bus to get around safely. After you have done your own taste testing and overall brewery experience tour, rank your favorite breweries in the Lansing/Mid Michigan area and share them in the station app. I'd like to see how yours compares to Yelp. In the meantime, enjoy the suds and please drink responsibly.
