Saugatuck Brewing Company

Saugatuck Brewing Company is located at 2948 Blue Star Highway in Douglas, Michigan.








Saugatuck Brewing Company is available throughout Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, northern Indiana and Minnesota, plus some foreign markets.

Here are some of Saugatuck's brews....

Backyard IPA (India Pale Ale) - "a refreshing IPA, light-bodied with a hoppy burst of flavor. This 4.5 ABV Session IPA is the perfect beer if you like to do stuff."



Blueberry Maple Stout - "a sweet milk stout with all the malt characteristics you love but with a bold, unique twist - this beer tastes like a glass full of blueberry pancakes smothered in maple syrup."

Bonfire Brown Ale - "a classic American Brown Ale with just a slight hint of smoke in the finish."



Oval Beach Blonde Ale - "an easy drinking light ale with subtle malt flavors and aroma perfectly paired with a well balanced body. Oval Beach Blonde is a great everyday pint and a perfect gateway into the world of craft beer for inexperienced beer drinkers."

Singapore IPA - "an intensely aromatic IPA crafted with multiple hop varieties. Singapore IPA utilizes a full malt body which compliments the hop bitterness leading to crisp and refreshing citrus flavor with a slight hint of pine. Named after the legendary Lake Michigan ghost town of Singapore, formerly located near Saugatuck, this once thriving lumber town was gradually buried by dune erosion in the late 1880's."



Starburst Wheat beer - "an explosion of tart, fruity flavors will erupt in your senses as you take your first sip of this perfectly balanced wheat beer. The sensation can only be matched by the brilliant aroma from dry hopping with massive amounts of Amarillo and Motueka hops."

Third Bear Ale - a "smooth English Pale Ale, not too hoppy and not too sweet, it's just right. A solid backbone of nine different malts are matched perfectly with a hint of smooth hops and rich flavors."
