Alpha Michigan Brewing Company celebrates 6th anniversary
ALPHA, Mich. (WLUC) – For six years, Alpha Michigan Brewing Company has been crafting house-made brews. The brewery celebrated its anniversary with the community Saturday. Family and friends drank beer on tap over food truck meals.
They served new swag and will showcase new beers every Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Live music will play on Sunday with a local group.
The brewery’s owner said people wondered why he opened up shop in Alpha.
“You’re gonna have a customer base of 120 people,” said owner Mike Bjork. “Who’s gonna come? And we told them half the time, hey, if you make good beer, they will come.”
Bjork said they brew with a purpose by giving back to the community. About $120,000 was raised through fundraisers over the last six years. The owner hopes to build a building just for brewing in the future.
