Stormcloud Brewing Company opened June 2013 just two blocks from Lake Michigan in the port city of Frankfort,
Michigan. Stormcloud's downtown pub features 16 taps pouring our handcrafted beer, plus cider and wine. Stormcloud specializes in brewing Belgian inspired ales, including the traditional Dubbel, Tripel and Strong Ales, along with classic beer styles such as Blondes, Pale Ales, IPAs, Porters, and Stouts. View our current tap list.
The pub also features a menu of flatbread pizzas, small plate appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches, and specialty popcorn. Our kitchen creates many menu items from scratch, with ingredients seasonally sourced from Michigan farms and our own StormGarden. View our current food menu.
In summer, relax on the pub's outdoor patio and lawn space with plenty of seating options, live music, and lawn games. In winter, grab a brew and watch a match on our outdoor curling sheet.
Our coastal hot spot was voted Best New Brewery in
Michigan by MLive in 2016 and Best Brew Pub in 2017 by the readers of Traverse Magazine.
With Lake Michigan's Gold Coast only steps away, the beach vibe is strong at Stormcloud. We encourage you to embrace an easygoing attitude while enjoying our pub, taproom, and brewery.

Lucky Dog Bar & Grille continues the revitalization of the old Village of Beulah bowling alley by adding The Labrador Room within its 9,000 sq. ft. downtown presence. The 3000 sq. ft. expansion includes a 2nd bar, seating for 60 more guests, rest rooms, a kitchen prep area and a live entertainment space. Special features include the original bar from the building's days as a bowling alley/bar and 3 original bowling lanes now decoratively imbedded in the new floor. The Room will also be available to book private events such as small weddings, class reunions, company parties etc.
Along with the expansion, Lucky Dog has added a newly developed menu item. The THWING™ is a special butcher's cut of chicken thighs which removes the back portion of the thigh, resulting in a meaty, juicy, more enjoyable eating experience. Lucky Dog prepares the THWING™ in the same traditional manner it prepares
its multi award-winning wings...seasoned, wood smoked, deep-fried for crispness and served with an ever expanding offering of dipping sauces. You will love this new and original item.
Stop in to see the newly expanded Labrador Room, the original bar and dining area and the outdoor dogfriendly patio. While you're there, eat like a King with a Wing and a THWING™.
