Linden Brewing Company

Linden Brewing Company is a family-owned "grain to glass" microbrewery and comfort food restaurant in the heart of downtown Linden, Michigan. Founded by Ryan and Nikki McDonald — veterans of the craft beer scene who also own Hartland Brewing Company — Linden Brewing brings nearly 30 years of restaurant industry experience to a charming storefront at 117 N Bridge Street. Since opening in May 2024, the brewery has quickly become a go-to gathering spot for Linden residents and visitors from surrounding communities. The "grain to glass" philosophy means every pint starts with raw grains brewed on-site, resulting in distinctive, handcrafted beers that you won't find anywhere else. The tap list rotates regularly but always features creative options alongside approachable classics — from the Union Block IPA and Goin Bananas Porter to seasonal offerings like the Always First Blood Orange IPA and Pomegranate Sour. Beer flights are a popular way to explore the full range. The food menu goes well beyond typical brewery fare. Must-try items include the PB&J sliders, bacon jam burgers, Spicy Shiawassee Burger topped with pepper jack and gochujang, and jalapeño popper egg rolls that have earned a cult following. Whether you're pairing a flight with a burger on a weeknight or settling in for a weekend dinner with friends, Linden Brewing delivers a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like a true neighborhood spot.
