Stormcloud Brewing's Chaise Longue
Bottoms Up
By Craig Manning | Aug. 16, 2025
Want to try one of the most unique beers in all of northern Michigan? If the answer is yes, then head over to Stormcloud Brewing Company in downtown Frankfort and order yourself a draft of the Chaise Longue. A kettle sour brewed with lemon, vanilla, and basil, the Chaise Longue sounds, on paper at least, like a collision of ingredients that simply wouldn’t mix well. But trust us when we say that this beer is delicious, refreshing, and wonderfully weird. It’s a sour beer without the overpowering funk that some sours have, and a dessert beer without the heaviness or cloying sweetness often associated with that category. Instead, the Chaise Longue goes down as smooth as a lager, with a fascinating mixtape of flavors that will keep you coming back. “Perfect for sunny afternoons and adventurous palates,” reads the description on the Stormcloud menu, and we have to agree. Enjoy at 303 Main St. in Frankfort. stormcloudbrewing.com
