Welcome!

 Nestled on the shores of the historic city of St. Ignace, gateway to Mackinac Island and the Upper Peninsula, sits the Salty Mac Brewing Company. Offering a unique combination of old-world Scotland and Ireland, we strive to bring a distinctive taste to our collection of brews. They are part classic and like an old Scotsman just a bit salty. Our passion for brewing extends to our coffee house located within the brewery. Our coffee house offers the highest quality ingredients as part of our partnership with Foster Coffee. Check out our latest brews on tap and join us at the Salty Mac!

Stop by on your way to Mackinac Island

There is no better way to enjoy your time before heading over to Mackinac Island from St. Ignace is to stop in for a taste of our freshly brewed coffees and international selection of teas. Once you are done on the Island, join us on the rooftop deck and enjoy our robust selection of 40 different beers, cider and wine on tap from our self pour tap wall. Or choose to take home a growler, crowler or a bottle of wine from our wine shop.

It Started with A Scottish Ale

Springing from our love of Scottish Ales comes the unique flavor combinations of the Salty Mac’s beer collection. Our signature brew is a nod to our Scottish roots and a splash of love from our coffee house. There’s a bit of old-world Scottish saltiness in each Salty Mac beer.
