| Northern Michigan's First Brew Pub. Open till Midnight for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Great Beer, Great Food, Great Service, Great Friends. Hand-crafted ales and lagers include: Wiltse's Blue Ox Stout, a full flavored dark beer made with oatmeal and roasted grains. Wiltse's Premium Lager, our best-selling Pilsner Lager. Great choice for first timers. Wiltse's Paul Bunyan Ale, an amber-style ale with a pronounced malt and hops character. A big malty brew made primarily from two row barley malts and a touch of carmel malt. The malty body is properly balanced with the skillful use of Cascade and Kent Golding Hops. Wiltse's Oscoda Rare, a specialty brew that changes with the season or perhaps the whim of the Brew Master. It may be a Belgian Triple Ale today or an Octoberfest beer tomorrow. This beer is produced in very small quantities, so be sure to enjoy it…it may be the only time you ever get to taste it!!! Wiltse's Old AuSable Weizenbier, combines the substitution of wheat malt for half of the barley malts and a special strain of top fermenting yeast, to give this brew a slightly fruity overtone suggesting cloves and banana. | ||

Come take a ride on the glorious AuSable River aboard the River Queen. We operate a double-decker, authentic paddle wheel patriotically painted in Red, White and Blue! We have enjoyed 40 years of safe passage. Young and old alike are excited to ride the Queen and take in the beautiful scenery and wildlife. Our Bald Eagles that perch on the large trees along the rivers bank are a big hit! It is a beautiful trip in the Summer and even more brilliant with the turning of the leaves in the Fall. |
