Tilted Axis Brewing Company

Tilted Axis Brewing Company is a pioneering nano-brewery and small winemaker nestled in a beautifully restored 1893 building in downtown Lapeer, Michigan. When it opened in September 2015, it became the first brewery in Lapeer since Prohibition, a landmark moment for the community. Housed in the historic DE Holland Jewelry Company building, the brewery's tagline, "23.5 degrees from ordinary," is a clever nod to the Earth's axial tilt, reflecting a philosophy that extends to everything they produce. What makes Tilted Axis truly exceptional is its remarkable range. This is one of the few establishments in Michigan where beer, cider, mead, wine, and house-distilled spirits are all crafted under one roof. The brewery has earned national recognition, including a World Beer Cup Gold Medal for the world's best dark American wheat beer, an achievement that puts Lapeer on the global craft brewing map. The taproom's warm, inviting atmosphere features exposed brick, amber Edison bulb lighting, and copper brewing vessels visible through glass, creating a space equally suited for a quiet weekday pint or a lively weekend gathering with friends. Food is served through Lapeer Pizza Company, integrated into the kitchen since 2017. The menu features hand-tossed pizzas made with fresh dough, calzones, salads, appetizers, and desserts, all designed to pair perfectly with Tilted Axis's rotating beer selection. The Axis Lounge offers a more intimate setting for sipping house-distilled Bourbon Whiskey, Vodka, and Gin. Whether you are a craft beer connoisseur or just looking for a great local spot to unwind, Tilted Axis Brewing Company delivers a world-class experience right in the heart of downtown Lapeer.
