Old Nation Brewing Co. is proud to announce its 10-year anniversary, marking a decade of dedication to craft, community, and independence. Since opening its doors in 2015, the family-run brewery has lived by its promise of “Respectfully Brewed Beers,” crafting every batch with care, precision, and an unwavering passion for the art of brewing.

As one of Michigan’s last large, independently owned breweries, Old Nation has remained true to its roots while evolving with the ever-changing craft beer landscape. From the beloved M-43 New England IPA to a wide range of styles, the brewery has stayed committed to quality and creativity—growing from a relatively unknown brewery in mid-Michigan to one of the top five breweries in the state.

“Reaching this milestone is incredibly humbling,” said Travis Fritts, a founder of Old Nation Brewing Co. “We owe everything to the loyal customers, community members, and team members—both past and present—who have stood by us over the years. This anniversary is as much theirs as it is ours.”

To celebrate its journey, Old Nation has launched a series of small-batch, brewpub-only releases for 2025. These limited-edition beers revisit iconic flavors from the brewery’s past. The series began with the return of Ghost Meat Peppercorn Saison—Old Nation’s first brewpub-exclusive release from 2016—and continues in June with the release of Flat Brain Red IPA. Each release tells a story from the brewery’s history, offering fans a taste of its evolution and enduring spirit.

What started as a vision to bring authentic, thoughtfully brewed beer to Mid-Michigan has grown into a movement powered by community support and a relentless drive to push boundaries. Through changing trends and industry challenges, Old Nation has remained steadfast in its independence and its mission to deliver outstanding beer without compromise.

Join Old Nation Brewing Co. throughout 2025 for special events, exclusive releases, and a toast to 10 years of brewing excellence.
