51st State Brewing Co

51st State Brewery is a great spot to stop for visitors of Iron Mountain. I’d recommend ordering the flight so you can try each beer they have on tap, and make sure to check them in on untapped so you can show up on the leaderboard ! The pizza is a great companion to your beer, especially on a nice summer day where you can sit on the outdoor patio - well done !

Can’t say enough great things. Came here after a recommendation from a customer. Wasn’t disappointed. Pizza was perfectly cooked, staff was great, and the beer was cold and tasted great! If you’re looking for a great place to kick back and have a brew in the UP, highly recommended.

When I drove up, I was immediately impressed. The building is modern yet cozy. It has an outside patio complete with umbrellas, which is where I sat. First, the great! The ambiance is great! I loved sitting outside. The beer was very good. Now the areas for improvement. First, they had a food menu, but I had to go inside for the QR code for the beer menu. Not a huge problem, but maybe add the code to the food menu? Next, I had the margarita pizza. Taste-wise, it was very good! The marinara was tasty, however, there was about 6 tomato slides on my pizza and about 9 pieces of basil (see my picture). It could have been loaded up a little more. Also, while the crust was fully of delicious butter and garlic, the middle of the pizza was soggy, and not crispy at all. While the beer I had was beet good, I wish there was more for descriptions. It says how much alcohol is in the beer, and the type of beer, but there was not anything to determine what was different from one wheat beer to another. I checked inside on the board of beers, and did not see any there either. The final area I’d like to mention cautiously was my service. I was seated immediately but very rarely returned to. I asked for another beer and had a question, but before I could ask it, the server ran inside, seated multiple tables and brought me the same one. I was hoping to try another. It happens. People are busy. With that being said, there was another server in the area who was SUPER attentive to their tables every needs, and even brought some extras to a table to help accommodate some little kids needs! Overall, good experience. I would like to come back in the future!

Woodfield pizza was tasty and super quick to get to our table. The Batty Millie (blueberry wheat) beer was delicious and not something typical of beers I've had before. The outdoor seating was very nice. The decor and atmosphere were very nice.

Only had the beer but was very impressed! Very rare for me to like EVERY beer I taste at a brewery but 51st did just that. Owners were there and were not only very friendly but also had a lot knowledge of michigan beers from the area. Would definitely return to try a pizza if ever in the area.
