Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Great Turtle Brewery!
As we celebrate Independence Day here on beautiful Mackinac Island, we’re reminded how lucky we are to live in a country that is free. We're grateful every day—but especially today—for the brave men and women who have made that possible. 🙏
Whether you're here for the fireworks, the fresh air, or just a slice of summer, come by and celebrate with us! Grab an ice-cold craft beer, enjoy a great meal with family and friends, and toast to the red, white, and brew! 🍻🇺🇸
We’ll be here all day, serving up island vibes and American pride.
🎆 Happy 4th of July from Great Turtle Brewery! 🎆

🌮 Craving Nachos Done Right? 🧀
Come dig into the Loaded Nachos at Verde’s Smash Burger Cantina — a cheesy, crunchy, flavor-packed masterpiece! We pile on creamy white queso, sharp cheddar, refried beans, fresh veggies, and top it all off with guacamole and Mexican sour cream. Choose your protein: beef barbacoa, chicken tinga, spicy chorizo, pork carnitas, or keep it vegetarian 🌱.
While you're here, soak up the scenic bay views and experience what Verde’s has become — not just a taqueria, but a full-on Smash Burger Cantina with exciting new menu items, plus the Mexican classics you know and love.
📍 Come hungry. Stay for the view.
