Lack of Competition

The look and feel of Michigan’s Forgotten Coast is wide open space…and when it comes to breweries & other craft beverage businesses it feels about the same.

We do have some quality breweries, wineries, and distilleries in our area including Elk Street Brewery, Lexington Brewing Company and Wine House, HuCo Brew Co., 3 North Vines, Dizzy Daisy Winery, and Shipwreck Distillery. But, that’s about all for the entire area…so there is plenty of market for new craft beverage businesses. 

I guess what we’re saying is that you really don't have to worry about stepping on anyone’s toes. There’s plenty of room to plant your feet on your own ground. In fact, all of our local craft beverage makers want more peers in the area. They all realize that if we have more, we become even more of a destination for craft beverages.

Being the first to locate in some of our communities will give you a leg up on the competition. If you look at our shoreline communities, you are not just tapping into the local folks, but a lot of our neighbors from Detroit, Ann Arbor, Canada, Toledo and other far off and exotic locations who visit often.

Bottom line is you get the chance to make your mark and build your brand to an area of new craft beer enthusiasts.
