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, where we proudly serve the highest quality ingredients through our partnership with Foster Coffee. But great beer and coffee deserve great food, which is why we’ve teamed up with BC Pizza to offer a specialty menu that pairs perfectly with our drinks.
Check out our latest brews on tap and join us at the Salty Mac for a taste of tradition with a twist!
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 than 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 and enjoy our robust selection of 30 different beers and ciders on tap from our self-pour tap wall. Or choose to take home a growler or crowler to enjoy later.

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.
What Others Are Saying
Been a little while coming…but well worth the wait!!!
Great beers and ciders! The menu is fantastic Korean wings and olive pizza (with a balsamic drizzle) we’re killer.
The Bridge Closure and Devil in the Kitchen (a cider with a habanero hint!) are quite choice to be sure.
Coffee is so delicious! Ordered the Americano, and it was so flavorful and yummy! The chai tea, and muffins were also really good! Great atmosphere, very clean, and super friendly staff!
Lots of different beers to try. It was nice that you could pour a little or a lot. They also had a coffee house inside the brewery in case you didn’t want to drink.
The service was great, everyone worked together. All of their tips go to local non profits which is a cool touch.
It was very clean and nicely decorated. If they had a fireplace it would have really made the ambiance amazing.
Great place!
Great place. Beers are solid, cool vibe, friendly staff. Must stop
