OUR STORY

We are Jon and Katheryn, owners of North End Taproom. Michigan born and raised, we moved back to the area after several years of living in California. During our time out west, we loved frequenting self-pour beer bars and were disappointed to see they did not exist here in Michigan. It turns out, it was because self-pour was not legal! We worked with a representative who was sponsoring a bill to make self-pour legal. This started an almost 2 year process to help change the law including testifying in Lansing and many conversations with legislatures to shape the language of the bill. Ultimately, Senate Bill 656 passed in spring of 2023.

After nearly two years from when we first thought of bringing self-pour to Michigan, we finally opened North End Taproom in August of 2024! We can't wait to share our love of craft beers and other beverages with you!
