The brewery crafts Belgian‑inspired ales that reflect the natural beauty of Northern Lake Michigan, offering both a taproom experience and “Food & Beer To Go” options for locals and visitors.

Founded by Rick, a former sales and marketing head at a local ski hill, and Brian, a freelance photographer turned home‑brew enthusiast, Stormcloud emerged from a friendship rooted in a love for craft beer and the Northern Michigan community. Brian converted his darkroom into a brewing lab, focusing on Belgian‑style beers, and their first successful experiment, Rainmaker Ale, sparked the launch of the brewery. The Downtown Pub at 303 Main Street, which previously housed a local golf shop and the historic 7 Spot Diner, now serves as the heart of the taproom, embodying the brewery’s blend of local history and innovative brewing. Stormcloud also operates the Parkview Taproom on Parkview Lane, expanding its presence within the town.
With a focus on handcrafted Belgian‑inspired ales and a welcoming gathering space, Stormcloud Brewing Company adds a distinctive flavor to Frankfort’s brewing scene, inviting residents and travelers alike to enjoy quality beer amid the town’s lakeside charm.
