Tank Space’s Good Will Hunting
Bottoms Up
By Craig Manning | Feb. 7, 2026
As fans of both great beer and great cinema, we’re suckers for a first-rate brew named in reference to one of our favorite movies. The Good Will Hunting from Tank Space in Traverse City is case-in-point: a superbly-satisfying, perfectly-balanced brown ale tailor-made for easy drinking on a wintry afternoon. (The 4.9 percent ABV makes it an ideal choice for daytime sipping.) Just like its parent brewery, Earthen Ales, Tank Space usually allocates some room on its tap list for small-batch beers, and many of those limited-run concoctions are born as passion projects for staff members. The “Will” in this Good Will Hunting is an Earthen Ales/Tank Space staffer who apparently loves brown ales as much as we do, and our hat is off to him. How do you like them apples?!
