Ghost Isle Brewery is where handcrafted beer, local flavor, and natural beauty come together.
Located on the edge of the 156-acre Galien River marshlands in New Buffalo, Michigan, our
brewery offers a scenic and relaxing space to enjoy great food, house-brewed beer, and live
music events year-round.
Whether you're a local looking for a dependable spot to unwind or a visitor exploring Harbor
Country, Ghost Isle Brewery delivers a memorable dining and drinking experience for all. Exit
I94 at either exit1 or exit 4–we’re only a 5 minute drive from either exit–in the very heart of New
Buffalo and Harbor Country.
Also, we’re close to many public beaches, great shopping and the new and beautiful Galien
River County Park which offers more of the same gorgeous marsh views that you’ll enjoy at
Ghost Isle.
The Sima Family has owned Ghost Isle's 3.5-acre site since the 1950's when Jim's grandfather purchased hundreds of acres in New Buffalo, Michigan.
The Brewery overlooks 156 acres of spectacular wetlands that were donated by the Sima Family to Chikaming Open Lands, a non-profit organization that now maintains the Michigan state-designated "critical wetlands."
A place where native flora and fauna thrive and everyone is welcome!
