Our Beer

Small batch, poured only at Beer Church, and available for takeaway via fresh fill of one of our 32oz Crowler cans realtime onsite or by grab-and-go from our giant cooler full of 4packs and single bottles just inside our stained-glass doors, our beer is always as freshly close to the source as one can get and as artisan a brew as you will find in the world. Award-winning Head Brewer Nate Peck combines our Signatures with regular single batch, innovative releases. Be sure to check out our latest Taplist here!

Our Pizza Napoletana

We trained in the Neapolitan pizza style under the grand masters of Napoletana, Pizzaiolo Roberto Caporuscio and Pizzaiola Giorgia Caporuscio of Kesté NYC, and are thrilled to have brought that art form to Southwest Michigan. The dough is always made fresh and fermented according to the secrets of old Napoli, and you can watch our Pizzaioli ply their unique trade in our two open pizza kitchens, one inside and one out, where they stretch and build your pie using only the finest ingredients. Scroll down for a look at our Menu, which also includes wings, sandwiches, salads, and small plates.

Our BEER GARDEN

All have been hailing our Beer Church Garden from the moment it first opened in 2018 to great fanfare, with some calling it the Wrigley Field of Brewery Beer Gardens, others the "Single Greatest Beer Garden" mankind has ever contemplated over a beer in the Midwest, to but paraphrase the hoopla. We've pushed the superlatives even further with our 2022 additions of a 21+ UPPERDECK featuring giant TVs and Michigan's largest outdoor bar; a family-friendly covered patio with gas heaters overhead and primary-colored couches underneath; and a second Acunto oven from Napoli anchoring our new outdoor pizza kitchen butressed by a Mondrian-inspired counter. As always, all of these spaces are full service just like our icy air-conditioned indoor environs, which is pretty damn cool aesthetically in its own right!

Our History

A Civil War era iconic church at the crossroads of downtown New Buffalo, Michigan, A brief role as an improvised armory during a time of need. What better bones upon which to build a brewery? We saved it from knockdown and buildup of who-knows-what franchise because it's a beautiful place for you to have a beautiful beer – and true Pizza Napoletana!

Drink. Eat.

Repent. Repeat.

Our Acunto Napoli ovens were both handmade in Italy by Gianni Acunto and his sons, after the original method Vincenzo, their grandfather, first developed in 1892, 31 years after Beer Church in its first incarnation was born.
