Thats why we are handcrafting awesome beer in one of Northern Michigan’s greatest towns. Grayling, the heart of the north, is famous for fast canoes and cold water and that’s exactly how we make our beer. Fast and all over the place with no rhyme, reason or plan!
The mantra here in our town is HUP (Hurry up and Paddle) And that’s exactly how we brew! No, really, we brew fast because we can’t keep the beer in stock.
Come to the Heart of the North and enjoy a Paddle Hard brew. So paddle on in and cheers with us!
