fWotD Episode 2651: Blackrocks Brewery
Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.
The featured article for Wednesday, 7 August 2024 is Blackrocks Brewery.
Blackrocks Brewery is a craft brewery in Marquette, Michigan. Taking the name from a local landmark, former pharmaceutical salesmen David Manson and Andy Langlois opened Blackrocks in 2010. They originally brewed their products in the basement of a Victorian-style house, and they used the building's other two floors as a taproom.
By 2013, persistent high demand for Blackrocks' beer led Manson and Langlois to add an outdoor patio and increase their brewing capacity. This included the purchase and conversion of a nearby former Coca-Cola bottling plant. In the early 2020s, they expanded the brewery's taproom into an adjacent property to double its available indoor area.
As of 2024, Blackrocks is the largest craft brewery in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Their most popular beer is 51K, an American IPA.
