Fantastic place. Cant believe that for as close as it is to me this is the first time Ive been. Had a great conversation with the owner and had some great beer. Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices. Top notch.

A solid place by the coast and worth going out of the way for, both the town and the brewpub. opens later in the aft, I arrived early and that was fine and staff was starting with some of the better brews. Casks, well done spot ons for their styles. Bartender is right there for you, very friendly environment of gentle bikers,retired people, musicians and other artsy people like meself. Some hand bottles available, if you ask.Basement, side deck, back tables for rendez-vous. Live music at night.

I stopped in this place with very high hopes. Had the feeling of a little dive bar as soon as I walked in (in basement, which is where I was). I ended up getting a sampler tray and was not impressed with a single one. Basically, if they don’t have any of their big beers on tap or BA beers, don’t bother. Bartender was a prick. Patio area looked nice, but no one was out there. I guess what is the point? You get to looked at a bunch of abandoned buildings and factories. Anyway, I will stop in again if they have better beer on tap and am in the area, otherwise, not likely again.

First of all, what a strange place for a top notch brewpub. Benton Harbor is full of abandoned buildings, torn up roads, and run down places. The Livery itself is fairly nice, although I only saw the basement. Everybody seemed to know everybody else, which was a little awkward at first, but kind of added to its charm after awhile. Prices were ok, but service was average at best (bartender sort of seemed like he didn’t want to be there). Probably not worth going too far out of your way for unless they have something specifically on tap that you wan to try, but glad I stopped nonetheless.

It wasn’t the awesome beers, cask ales, live music, outdoor patio, friendly people, reasonable prices, or interesting architecture that impressed me most about this place, it was the fact that some of the freshest, most original beers I’ve tasted, are all brewed by one man, Steve Berthel, in a 1000 sq foot building containing nothing but hand forged tools and his hand forged beers. It just goes to show that all it takes is a few creative people to bring new, style bending, tasty beers to people all over the U.S. Steve thinks em up and brews em, BBB63 spreads the word about these great beers and distributes them to beer lovers all over America. It’s a beautiful thing.

Relaxed, vibe on a Sunday afternoon. Up and downstairs bars, but only the nondescript basement and spacious beergarden were open when we were there. A few cask options, nice beerlist with a diverse range of styles and some interesting unique beers. Did not try any food.

had a good cask best bitter. Nice barmaid. The basement bar is a bit spartan, the area upstairs is very cool. Worth a stop if you are going by..

Visited this cozy downstairs brewpub on a cold Michigan night. Would be nice if something else was around the pub to walk to but I guess that might be part of the charm. Good off beat crowd that comes for the eclectic but solid brews. They have the range of beers from lager to stouts listed on a chalkboard. I liked everything I tried. All seem to have at least of a bit of a Flemish sour taste some balance out more with some sweetness than otherwise. Left with a growler which will be nice since you sure can’t get this beer in the Detroit area.

Somewhat of a basement bar with a small open kitchen in the back. One pool table and mismatched chairs and tables. It seemed a little dark but then again it is a basement.

Reminds me of the basement from That 70s Show. Very relaxed atmosphere with an overwhelming amount on tap. Cant wait until this place starts selling some bottles.
