Traverse City Beer Week
Road Trips Foodies can check out the ever-evolving craft beer industry in Northern Michigan at the Traverse City Beer Week, set for November 8 through 15, 2019.
The week-long festival includes several events, each one developed jointly between brewers, restaurants, and retailers to educate or offer insight into some aspect of the craft beer movement. Whether that be a special product or style of beer, a food-beer pairing experience or a quirky mashup of beer and culture, each year the lineup varies.
This year’s events include the TC Ale Trail IPA Challenge, the Flapjack and Flannel Festival, the Great Beerd Run 5K at Grand Traverse Resort and Spa, plus more events added to the mix every day. For a regularly updated list of TCBW festivities, go online.
Since 2012, when Draft Magazine named Traverse City one of “America’s Emerging Beer Towns” and the Travel Channel listed it among the “Top Seven Beer Destinations in North America,” the town’s beer scene has yet to slow down. It’s served up perfectly with the region’s eclectic eats, which have earned it the reputation of “#1 Foodie Destination in the Midwest Region” by Reward Expert, one of The Daily Meal’s “Most Under-the-Radar Food Towns in America,” and on the list of “America’s Five Top Foodie Towns” by Bon Appétit.
