The best part about the Ore Dock is their building. These guys put a lot of hard work into it and its just awesome now. You would never recognize it as an auto garage, which is what it used to be.
However, the beer doesn't live up to the building. Sure, its always nice to drink micro brewed beer, but there are a couple other places in Marquette that have consistently better brews. Every once in a while, brew a good one, but the majority of the time they are just average. Plus, just being picky here, the IPA's are always so cloudy, that should definitely not be happening!
Was up visiting from Chicago and found this GEM of a taproom. Some taprooms I've been to are pretentious, stuffy and filled with arrogant staff that can't be bothered to share any info about the brewery, but this place is the exact opposite. Â
The air hockey tables, comfortable seating, TVs and friendly staff make this a great place to hang out...And let's not forget the beer; the price for the sampler can't be beat. Especially good beers were the Saisons, the cloudy IPA (the name escapes me) and one called 'Dream Weaver'.
This place will become  routine when I visit the UP.
Wonderful new brewery in Marquette. Â I'm 30something and this would be a perfect place for me and all my cronies to hang. Â Beer was delicious. Â Did some Christmas shopping while I was there and received a free sticker / glass, what a great place. Â They do a lot of wonderful events throughout the week. Â Be sure to stop upstairs too; as I could only peek thru the window but really liked what I saw. Â
I also have a hunch that I know the owner, but that has yet to be verified. ;)
I'm glad there's another brewery in town! The great thing about the Ore Dock is their enormous new upstairs, open thurs-sat. There's always room for all of your friends, and it's nicely done up there with a rustic feel. The beer at the Ore Dock is good, but the last three times I went there they didn't have that many varieties and they were the same every time I visited. I'd love to see them do more types of beer and have a faster turnover on the styles.
Review Source:What an awesome new spot in Marquette. Ore Dock shines in two key catagories; layout and beer selextion. The styles are diverse, from dry hopped pales to nice dark browns. They seem to have just the perfect tap selection for the season.
The layout of the place is awesome, inside the garage door you have several seating areas that have high tables, couches, large tables, and of course the bar.
Music was solid and the TVs were a good addition, but not in the way. I love the fact that you can see the fermenting tanks and they also do tours of the brewery.
The beers themselves were all solid and clean. Nothing to crazy, but all above your average small brewery. The belgian ipa and the red ale were fantastic. One note to the owners, don't chill all the taps so cold. Belgian ipa needs to be above 35 degrees to be truly enjoyed.
All together, the prices were fair and I'd love to go back for more.
I am a fan of Ore Dock Brewing Company for sure. I was in there last month and did a sampler of the current beers on tap and was able to find a few beers that I could find myself ordering again and again. It's also great to see a fun business open up on Spring Street, giving me a reason to go past Washington St. again.
Having been recently opened, they have that brand new look and feel which I see lasting for a while. From the bar you can see the beer production room with the kettle and tanks behind glass windows. I'm still itching to get back there for a tour!
Since they don't have a kitchen, it is bring your own food, which can be nice - I'll just spend my money on beer instead! They were working on an upstairs area at the time, I am excited to see that open and the space take on both levels. I think after they open that up and really get all of their beers going, I will have to update my rating to 5 stars instead of just 4.
