No. 2 Best Beer Garden in the Entire Country is in Michigan

As the weather warms, we're looking for spots to enjoy adult beverages outside. Well, one Michigan establishment is getting national attention as the second best beer garden in the U.S. - and you can enjoy it in more than just summertime!

Northern Michigan is one of my very favorite spots in the world. So I have visited this beer garden - in both winter and summer - and I can attest that it is awesome!

Here's USA Today's praise for Hop Lot:

Embracing its Northern Michigan roots, Hop Lot Brewing’s beer garden invites guests to warm up around the campfire or relax at picnic tables while enjoying their brews. In winter, you can even reserve your own igloo! Hop Lot was established in 2015 as a family-friendly brewery and offers a tap list of around a dozen traditional ales.

The only other beer garden to beat out Michigan's Hop Lot is The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery & Biergarten in Charlotte, North Carolina. Check out the full ranking here.
