 * That should be it; this was my first time reviewing an article on a brewery and it was fascinating! I have left some comments below and placed this article on hold for now. Please ping me once you have addressed my concerns so that I may know when to reevaluate. Thanks!  𓃦 LunaEatsTuna  (💬) 00:37, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

Prose

 * This is not required, but given the amount of information in the article I reckon an infobox would benefit readers.
 * "that opened in 2012." – probably personal taste but I would add the month here as well.
 * "It takes its name from the ore docks in the city, used to load iron ore pellets onto lake freighters." – this is only mentioned in the lead, but it should be noted in the history section as well—the lead summarises key content of an article.
 * "In 2021, the brewery received a $25,000 State of Michigan Match on Main Street grant." – I reckon this could be elaborated upon; did the state give a reason as to why it was granted/what is the grant given for?
 * "popular beers were the "Reclamation" IPA" – wikilink IPA for unfamiliar readers.
 * "IPA that "not as hop-forward […]" – replace with "IPA that is "not as hop-forward […]".
 * "becoming the first Upper Peninsula brewery to offer the product." – wikilink Upper Peninsula.
 * "214 S. Front St." – unabbreviate street. Does the S. stand for anything here too or is that its official designation?
 * "with the intent to demolish and create" – change to "with the intent to demolish it and create".
 * "It was recommended in The New York Times travel section in 2017," – wikilink The New York Times.

Refs
All sources are either RS or used appropriately. Spotcheck not passed—no concerns with refs 5, 8, 10, 14, 20 or 23, but: Other concerns:
 * Ref 3 does not mention May 2012 as the opening date.
 * Some refs have retrieval dates whilst others do not. For consistency, I would give them all retrieval dates.
 * Ref 1 is missing a page number.
 * Refs 8 and 20 are missing publication dates.
 * Ref 15 is a dead link.

Other
Short description, navs and cats good.


 * Recommend adding template:Use X English.
 * The coords should be shortened to just five digits after the decimal point; that is enough for buildings.
 * Add WP:ALT text to the images.
 * The external video appears to be a dead link.
 * The last external link (from ABC 10) seems unnecessary.

Response
Hello ! Thanks for the review. I believe I've addressed all of your points, and those that need additional notes are addressed below:
 * Broadly, I've added more information to the history section. I did a check for newer references before nominating this, but I missed an in-depth reported piece from the Huron Daily Tribune (it doesn't show up in Google News).
 * I've removed the $25,000 mention. No source has specifics of what it was going to be used for, and in the grand scheme of things it's not particularly important.
 * Noted.


 * Re: what was ref 1, the online ebook does not have page numbers. I've added a chapter title instead, and the link goes directly to the correct page.
 * I see; nice work!


 * I've added alt text, though per WP:ALT two are just "refer to caption" as I don't believe any more info would be helpful.
 * Fair enough.


 * I've added an archive URL for the deadlink along with one other link that's gone dead. Unfortunately, a third link has no archived copy and it can't be easily replaced because it supports specific quotes. I've reached out to the publisher, although I don't have much hope that they have an archived copy hiding somewhere. WP:DEADLINK says we shouldn't just delete it, but I'd love your thoughts.

 * Seems like a minor inconvenience, but I would not want a single URL stopping this article from obtaining GA status.
