Caseville, MI

Scooter’s 1889th bar, first visited in 2026.

This little distillery is open periodically and only for a portion of the day. A visit gets you four free samples. I ended up particularly enjoying the Founding Fathers whiskey and bought a bottle.

Beachy’s

Caseville, MI

Scooter’s 1888th bar, first visited in 2026.

Technically we went back and forth between Beachy’s and Beachy’s Bake & Brew — two different buildings with a ton of outdoor seating in-between — but they are part of the same property and same business so considering them one bar for simplicity. We were here to watch the parade during the annual Cheeseburger In Caseville festival.

I had Bell’s Two-Hearted Ale, a Narragansett Lager, and a Fudgie by Big Lake Brewing.

Blue Water Inn

(Downtown, Caseville, MI)

Scooter’s 1865th bar, first visited in 2025.

After our earlier bar crawl we took a break for a couple of hours, then came here for the annual NYE ball drop. (Giant lighted wire-frame ball slowly lowered from a crane, followed by fireworks.)

The bar was EXTREMELY crowded so it was impossible to have a proper visit, will have to return another time for that.

This place is divided into two halves. The north half (shorter building) is the bar area, and the south half (taller building) is the dining area with a pool table, dance floor, and DJ booth. In back is a covered, heated deck. There appeared to be a second level but it was too crowded to get to the stairs.

It was surreal seeing young children inside at almost midnight, but apparently kids are allowed as long as they stay out of the bar side.

I had a Guinness.

Thumb Brewery

(Caseville, MI)

Scooter’s 1661st bar, first visited in 2023.

After our lunch we decided to drive over to Caseville to see the town and try the brewery. The rain was finally tapering off.

Inside was packed so we went outside to sit. Not seeing any obvious signs that there were servers, a couple of us went inside to order drinks only to be shooed back out with a server following us.

I had half pours of the Coconut Porter and the Kona Coffee Stout. I liked the latter so much I ordered a full pour to follow it up.

I bought the group’s rounds and after I paid the final total seemed too low so I asked her to look up the details and reads them back to me. Good thing I did, I had misplaced a decimal point and accidentally tipped just $2 on a $99 tab. I quickly apologized and handed her a twenty. Accidental assholery averted!
