Beer Church Brewing Co.

Bar in New Buffalo

[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!

We walked in a hour before they closed. Customer service was great. Very friendly waitress. Restaurant and bathrooms were super clean and well kept. Food was quick and hot very good choices of sauces for wings. If I ever go back to La Porte would definitely go back for their wings.

Shuga’s

Shuga’s is a gem of a spot for lunch or dinner! Traveling through COS and this place came recommended. So glad we tried it! Cocktails are fantastic, the sandwich’s are 12/10! Every bite it just tastes better and better. The Butter Almond Cake for desert was also divine! Atmosphere: Slightly elevated, yet calm and cozy. We enjoyed our “light” dinner very much, but in full honesty since it’s a very small menu I’d actually recommend this for a great brunch or lunch spot. Overall though it’s an excellent spot! Also love the cranes on the ceiling! After just living in Japan for 3 years, I loved that touch!

We made a reservation for a birthday meal here on the patio for a Sunday evening, we arrived at the time and waited maybe 10 minutes for our table. The patio was beautiful and comfortable with privacy from the street. The service was impeccable and so helpful. Everything was fresh and delicious and made exactly as ordered, steaks were cooked perfectly and each dessert was delicious! Our bill was around $200 for 3 people and we had leftovers to take home. Was wished a happy birthday and they comped one of the desserts as a gift. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone and I cannot wait to come back!

The experience here was impressive. We loved our cocktails and wine. Adam and Genevieve were excellent at guiding us through the unique menu items. The charcuterie board was the best pairing and also had items paired with each other which was explained when it was served to us. We enjoyed our time and will be back for sure!

Absolutely excellent! Great small indoor venue, has clean restrooms, reasonably priced drinks and even though it claims ‘standing room only’, there are small benches along each wall to get it a sit down if you need it. Couldn’t recommend this venue enough, and of course they held the show for Slothrust, so they get extra brownie points!
