The right hemisphere of our brain controls creativity. Aptly named, Right Brain Brewery in beautiful Traverse City pushes the boundaries of what craft beer can be. Since its launch in 2007, Right Brain has marched to the beat of its own drum, garnering respect from beer lovers far and wide. During a visit to the Traverse City area, a pint at this eccentric brewery is a must.

To say Right Brain’s brewpub is enormous would be an understatement. The concrete floors, high ceilings, and industrial vibe give way to plenty of seating, space for gaming, and general brewery shenanigans. During the summer, picnic tables enable you to sip your suds while you bake under the scorching sun. Your experience at Right Brain Brewery is what you make of it.

Now, let’s get down to the beer.

For a bite… errr… sip of Traverse City, try Right Brain’s Cherry Pie Whole. This amber ale is brewed with, you guessed it, whole cherry pies baked by the Grand Traverse Pie Company. Explore additional seasonal creations or stick with signature brews like the flagship CEO Stout, Smooth Operator cream ale, or Will Power pale ale. With nearly 40 beers on tap, you’re sure to find something that pleases your parched palate.

Right Brain Brewery is located at 225 E Sixteenth St, Traverse City, MI 49684.
