America’s Oldest Microbrewery and Michigan’s Original Craft Brewery! Offering award winning Ales & Lagers since 1862!
In 1862, John Matthias Falliers and his cousins William Knaust and Martin Heubisch built and opened the Frankenmuth Brewery just north of the Falliers’ property, where the Frankenmuth Brewery continues to stand today. Since then, the brewery has operated under many names, including Cass River Brewery and Geyer Brothers Brewing Co., before settling on the Frankenmuth Brewery name during the 1980’s.
Today, our Gold Medal Taproom is open to the public seven days a week. For tastings and a full brewery experience, the taproom provides the opportunity to enjoy 21 draft beers complimented by an inspired craft-centric menu. Throughout the year we rotate our draft lineup to highlight a unique variety of 36 different styles of craft beer brewed fresh onsite.
