Join Us For Our 3rd Annual Michigan Craft Beer Weekend!
Well, it’s time to start making your plans to see it for yourself because the Michigan Craft Beer Weekend is coming soon! An expression we have on Mackinac Island is that history repeats itself again and again. And true to form, history will repeat itself at the Chippewa, the Pink Pony and our sister hotel, the Lilac Tree Suites & Spa because we’re celebrating again with our 3rd Annual Michigan Craft Beer Opening Weekend.
“We had a great turn out in past years with very positive feedback from our guests. We guarantee that you’ll have a fantastic time and it’s a great way to bring in the 2017 Mackinac Island season in style!”
-Brian Bailey, General Manager.

Garnet Rogers has established himself as ‘One of the major talents of our time”. Hailed by the Boston Globe as a “charismatic performer and singer”, Garnet is a man with a powerful physical presence – close to six and a half feet tall – with a voice to match. With his “smooth, dark baritone” (Washington Post) his incredible range, and thoughtful, dramatic phrasing, Garnet is widely considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the finest singers anywhere. His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. Cinematic in detail, his songs “give expression to the unspoken vocabulary of the heart” (Kitchener Waterloo Record). An optimist at heart, Garnet sings extraordinary songs about people who are not obvious heroes and of the small victories of the everyday. As memorable as his songs, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again.
Garnet: It’s an enormous privilege for me to be able to stand up and sing my own songs, but I would like to be able to have something left behind after the dust is cleared away where people are actually benefiting from the concert at some level.
InsideOut Gallery will set up a donation area where food can be left for local food banks, and we ask that audience members bring donations of non-perishable food and useful personal care items such as shampoo and toothpaste.
Our Farm-to-Table dining series brings the fresh flavors of northern Michigan to the Thistle Pub & Grille the third weekend of each month, May through September.
Our chefs work with local farms, making personal visits to many of them, to build a custom three-course menu.
Our Farm-to-Table series is a clear example of Crystal Mountain’s commitment to the sustainability of the local food movement and the role that our restaurants play in it.
