In 1958, looking to capitalize on the engineering marvel that was less than a year away from connecting Michigan’s two peninsulas, the Menominee-Marinette Brewing Company launched a new brand, “Big Mac Beer.” Unfortunately, marketing and packaging blunders coupled with increasing competition from national brands took Big Mac Beer out of the picture?—?and by 1961, the M-M brewery was gone as well. The beer may be gone, but the bridge is still there. Celebrate one of Michigan’s original local brews and the bridge that unites us all.
