OUR STORY
Our love of
craft beer started many years ago, but the story of
Ore Dock Brewing Company started in the summer of 2009
during a 4000-mile road trip across the western US. Up
to this point, whenever we found ourselves traveling
to a new place, we had formed a habit of visiting the
local brewery. Local breweries always seemed to exude
native culture and never failed to provide an eclectic
mix of friendly people, not to mention the fact that
each region had its own unique beer styles and local
favorites. We especially enjoyed those breweries that
exhibited a clear link to their community, utilized
locally produced ingredients and products, and
fostered local art and music.
The trip out West was no exception; in fact we planned our route based on the breweries we wanted to try. Somewhere between the stunning western landscape and the amazing breweries that we visited, we were surprised to find ourselves homesick for the Upper Peninsula. It was then that we realized we wanted to take the atmosphere at these breweries and infuse it with all the things we love about Marquette, and the dream to start a microbrewery was born. We began working on a business plan and found that we were truly passionate about our idea; passionate enough to get through more than two years of working, planning, and saving.
We are so very grateful to many wonderful friends and family who have been supportive and helpful in so many ways along our journey. We hope Ore Dock Brewing Company will be a true reflection of all the things we love about Marquette and the Upper Peninsula. Cheers!
