January 11, 2008 (Visited 10/2006): Frankenmuth Brewery is located right in the thick of Main St in Frankenmuth. Parking is tricky as there is only a tiny lot in front. However they have a free valet and additional parking across the street.
The building is pretty and keeps with the German/Bavarian theme that permeates the area. Inside, there is a gift shop at the entrance and the bar/restaurant is in a large adjacent room. The bar is along the left side and offers a closeup view of the brewing equipment.
I was a little let down by the beer situation on my visit. There were only 3 beers available, with everything else either being out (the Dunkel) or not suitable for consumption due to problems with the lines (Dry Stout). They also only had one available beer in bottles (Geyer’s). Luckily there were some guest taps to pick up the slack from Victory and New Holland. They also offer their available beers in samples.
Service was as good as could be expected considering how packed the place was. The bartenders were happy to talk about the beers they did have available.
I did not try the food on this visit, but the German fare I saw sure looked good.
All in all I was disappointed with this visit but will definitely give it another shot, as there is obviously potential with this place. Also a good place to kill time if someone else in your group wants to spend 2 hours at Bronner’s. |

July 7, 2006 Nice looking brewery located almost in the heart of everything and accross the street from my hotel .. Added bonus.. The brewery was a beautiful brick building with the brew kettles on disply up front with the old kettles outside for added look.. The brewery seemed like a food place more than a brewery.. The beer selection in my opinion was rather weak. They had a few guest taps on four to be exact but still on the lighter side.... Did not eat but looked at the menu a decent selection at moderate to high prices... This brewery could use at least one decent beer though. Service was friendly... |

May 7, 2006 Decent place, with well constructed brews, but they tend to stick to only the lighter styles. Samples! They also sold some of their beers in bottles, but at high prices. Food was excellent german fare. |

October 8, 2005 I enjoyed this stop, fairly modern looking brewery with a great location right on the river. All beers on tap are ones they brew on the premesis. None are overwhelmingly good, but they are all decent offerings. They have a sampler that you can order and the food appeared to be good as well although I didn’t have any. Brewery tours happen frequently as well, beer was served pretty cold... |
