Jolly Pumpkin Restaurant & Brewery

Microbreweries & Taprooms · Traverse City, MI

Ron Jeffries brought his wild ale expertise to Old Mission Peninsula, creating a brewery that breaks all the rules. Jolly Pumpkin's sour beers and funky farmhouse ales age in oak barrels, developing complex flavors you won't find anywhere else in northern Michigan. The taproom pairs these distinctive brews with elevated pub fare, craft cocktails, and an impressive wine selection. Families gather on the sprawling patio while serious beer lovers debate the merits of each barrel-aged creation. This isn't your typical brewery – it's where tradition meets innovation.
