Drífa Brewing Company

Just south of downtown Marquette, Drifa Brewing offers a laid-back, welcoming vibe that’s perfect for unwinding. The outdoor seating area has plenty of space to relax, and the fire pit adds a cozy touch, especially on cooler evenings. When I visited, there was live music playing, which was an unexpected and much-appreciated bonus. A food truck was parked out front, serving up tasty bites with impressively quick service. It rounded out the experience nicely. As for the beer, I tried the Ghost Roast (a white stout) and the Shorescape Haze (a New England IPA). Both were solid pours - flavorful, well-balanced, and true to style. You can tell the team here takes pride in their craft. If I’m ever back in the area, Drifa will definitely be on my list again. Great beer, chill atmosphere, and a little something extra that makes it memorable.

I wanted to make more memories to compensate my really short stay in Marquette, so I got my second round here. Probably I was the last customer that night. Fair price and wonderful taste for the Hazy IPA, cozy atmosphere and everything. I feel that this 20 min or so let me to be somehow nostalgic and emotional to look back on my days in Michigan, past and present. I’ll definitely cherish this experience.

Great location, nice setup, fair amount or room inside, larger area outdoors. The beer was excellent! Service was good. There is a good truck called Lakeshore grill in the parking lot that seems kinda permanent. Overall it's a must stop. 5 stars for the overall quality of the beer.

Great spot with beautiful views, nice outdoor area. It was very hot and sunny so we sat up against the building as that was the only shade but as a bonus, they had water bowls for the dog!

This place has top tier vibes that embody fun times lakeside namely with the outdoor space. The brews were hit and miss, so tread carefully.

Only 3 beers on tap, disappointed in the small offering but all 3 were very good. The food truck serves a great smash burger. Lots of available seating inside and outside, there is also entertainment outside.

First smoked beer I've ever had! Wonderful taste and finish! All the beers through the group of people we had they all liked! Small down side is no formal food, they do have snacks and chips etc for purchase, but are pretty cool about bringing in food from other places! Very good beer and a neat atmosphere!

First off, the beer is good. That’s the most important part. That being said, the patio area is relaxed and comfortable with plenty of pups to pet and just a bit off the lake side walking path make it a great place to have a beer and relax after a walk or bike ride. Inside is cozy in a good way and the live band was great when I was there. Staff was helpful and courteous. Basically everything I’m looking for in a brewery. Keep up the great work!
