Brewery Terra Firma is a production brewery, tap room, and MAEAP certified farm located on 10 acres in Traverse City, Michigan. We produce delicious, culinary-inspired beers using sustainable methods, including an innovative water capture system in our brewhouse that has allowed us to reclaim over 230,000 gallons of water from the manufacturing process for reuse as irrigation and fertilization on our farm crops.

We are open from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Tuesday through Saturday, 12:00 to 6:00 PM on Sunday, and from 12:00 to 8:00 PM on Monday. Stop by our taproom at 2959 Hartman Road in Traverse City to sample our beers, or find us throughout Michigan at your favorite bar or restaurant. We have locally-made snacks and sodas available for purchase, or bring along a meal from your favorite eatery and enjoy a tasty Brewery Terra Firma beer with it.
