"Beloved by beer aficionados for its complex, Belgian-style farmhouse ales, Barrel + Beam is a Michigan treasure. Together with his wife Marina Dupler, Nick VanCourt — an Upper Peninsula native — purchased a dilapidated roadside supper club in 2016. After an extensive remodel it is one of the hippest log cabins around for sipping suds. Don’t miss the kriek, brewed with Michigan cherries, and the duo’s recently added menu of snacks and soups." - Stacey Brugeman
