Lansing Brewing Company Highlights:
- We strive to provide an experience for our guests that is excelled by none, especially when it comes to events. We have banquet hall and meeting room amenities, but we have replaced the tired cliches with energy-infused spaces that range from groups of 20 up to 500 people! We provide custom, handcrafted menus and offerings, and our event staff strives to make our event point-of-contacts feel fully taken care of.
- Not only do we host a wide variety of events for our guests, we also love to throw great parties ourselves! Whether it’s our annual Brewtoberfest, or our Winter Warrior Patio Party, we like to provide a great time for all with live music every weekend and trivia during the week.
- You won’t want to leave our big, beautiful patio, alive with action and energy.
- We’re in the heart of the Stadium district, just a baseball toss to Jackson Field, home of the Lugnuts, and just a block from the recharged riverfront.
- Our knowledgeable, passionate staff will be sure to impress not just beer enthusiasts, but localists and industry professionals alike. We strive to create a welcoming experience for all, but we LOVE to talk about beer!
Special Edition Question: What's to love about hospitality in a college town?
There’s so much to love, especially being a “Bleed Green” alumni! But my favorite has to be the passionate service staff teammates I get to train and teach every year who spend from just a semester with us to an entire college career. I have had the pleasure to work with hundreds of fabulous Spartans, many I still call friends, and who return year after year to say hello! The talent pool in East Lansing is outstanding!
