Proudly brewing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula since 2014. American owned. Locally crafted. Certified independent by the Brewers Association. Traveling?
Stay on-site: https://www.harvesthosts.com/hosts/michigan/60eE5vUoP6ZbThpycSHO?source=map Upper Hand was founded in 2014 by Larry Bell of Bell’s® Brewery, one of Michigan’s oldest, largest, and most celebrated breweries. We like to think of every can of Upper Hand beer as a love letter to the U.P., brewed by a ragtag crew of hikers, bikers, campers, dog-walkers, anglers, hunters, and outdoor-loving Yoopers who live for getting lost in our own backyard. All 10 million acres of it.
