Gales of November: Remembering the Edmund Fitzgerald
On Monday, November 10th, we’re raising a glass to the crew of the Edmund Fitzgerald — 29 sailors whose story has been part of Great Lakes history for 50 years.
We’ll have the lights turned down, 29 candles glowing, and the memorial livestream from the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum on in the main bar at 7 PM.
Stop in, share a moment, and toast with:
The 29 Bells Cocktail - whiskey + bitters, a simple nod to the strength of the lakes.
Edmund Fitzgerald Beer from Great Lakes Brewing Co - a dark, steady favorite brewed in remembrance.
We’ll also be donating $1 from each feature to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum, helping preserve the stories that shape our shores.
Come by Monday night - good company, a little history, and a quiet toast to the lake that connects us all.

Oktoberfest at Small Craft
Oktoberfest on Tap
From now through October 12, we’re raising a glass to tradition with a rotating lineup of Oktoberfest and German-style beers. At least one tap will be dedicated to these brews throughout the celebration - when one kicks, the next in line will step up.
Why October 12? That’s the anniversary of the very first Oktoberfest in 1810, when Bavarians gathered to celebrate a royal wedding. The festival grew into a timeless tradition, carried on year after year - proof that you don’t mess with Bavarians and their beer.
Join us in honoring that history with a taste of Germany, poured fresh at Small Craft.

Live Music: A Place to Land
Join us Monday night at the Buoyard for a heartfelt evening of live music with Brian and Rebecca in their duo A Place to Land!
Brian and Rebecca’s adventure has carried them from a cozy 12-foot motorhome to their tiny home in Germfask, MI—and now, to the buoyard stage at Small Craft. Along the way, their love for music has grown from late-night bluegrass jam sessions and a vintage bass into a shared passion that’s touched audiences across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
With more than 60 shows performed in just two seasons, this duo brings heartfelt harmonies, warmth, and the spirit of their travels to every performance. Their story is one of resilience, discovery, and the simple joy of making music together.
Come dance with us at the buoyard and be part of Brian & Rebecca’s next “place to land.”

Sometimes savory and sometimes sweet, even the band isn't sure what each batch will present, this dish is cooked to order and made On The Spot.
