There's something special brewing in Oxford, Michigan—and these days, it's more than just beer!
Our charming hometown has become a destination for craft beer lovers, cocktail enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates locally made spirits and a welcoming atmosphere. Two of our favorite downtown establishments, HomeGrown Brewing Company and GravCap Brewstillery, have taken their passion for handcrafted beverages to the next level, adding their own spirits and craft cocktails to their already impressive beer selections.
Here at Stag's Leap Farm Bed & Breakfast, we're proud to support the local businesses that make Oxford such a special place to visit. In fact, our guests get their first taste of Oxford's craft beer scene without even leaving their rooms! We include a complimentary sample brew from HomeGrown Brewing Company in each guest room refrigerator—a little taste of our hometown hospitality.
Both breweries are located in the heart of historic downtown Oxford, just a short drive from our inn. And the best part? They're practically neighbors, making it easy to experience both during your visit!
Let's introduce you to the families, flavors, and experiences that make these two hometown favorites so special.
HomeGrown Brewing Company: From Craft Beer to HomeGrown Spirits
28 N. Washington Street, Oxford, Michigan
When it comes to great beer, delicious food, and genuine hometown hospitality, HomeGrown Brewing Company holds a special place in our hearts!
Since opening in 2017, the Powers family has turned their passion for homebrewing into one of downtown Oxford's favorite gathering places. Their philosophy has always been refreshingly simple: great beer, great food, and great people.
We're such fans of HomeGrown that we've made their beer part of the Stag's Leap experience! Every guest room refrigerator includes a complimentary sample of their locally brewed beer, waiting for you to enjoy during your stay. It's our little way of introducing guests to one of Oxford's hometown favorites before they even venture into town.
And now, there's even more to love about HomeGrown!
With the introduction of HomeGrown Spirits, this family-owned brewery has expanded beyond beer, adding handcrafted spirits and a creative selection of cocktails to its offerings.
Launched in October 2026, the cocktail program features HomeGrown's own spirits, fresh juices, and mixers prepared in-house. It's a natural extension of the creativity and attention to detail that have made this brewery such a special part of Oxford.
Beer lovers still have plenty to celebrate, of course! HomeGrown offers a wonderful selection of flagship beers alongside seasonal and experimental brews. From their easy-drinking Oxford Ale to rich stouts and creative specialty beers, there's always something worth discovering.
And unlike many traditional taprooms, HomeGrown offers a full dining experience.
Marie and her culinary team have created a menu that goes well beyond typical brewery fare, making HomeGrown an excellent choice for a casual lunch, romantic dinner, or evening out with friends.
During the warmer months, their spacious outdoor patio is one of our favorite places to relax in downtown Oxford. And upstairs, their cozy TreeHouse event space offers a wonderful setting for private celebrations.
With the addition of handcrafted spirits and cocktails, HomeGrown has become an even more appealing destination for couples who appreciate a great meal paired with a locally crafted beverage.
Whether you're sipping one of their award-winning beers or exploring their newest craft cocktails, you'll quickly discover why we love recommending HomeGrown to our guests.

GravCap Brewstillery: Where Craft Beer Meets Rock & Roll
14 N. Washington Street, Oxford, Michigan
If you love great beer, lively entertainment, and a little rock-and-roll attitude, GravCap Brewstillery is your kind of place!
Founded in 2019 by Tom and Theresa Wrobel, along with their son and brewmaster Evan, GravCap takes its name from Oxford's history as the "Gravel Capital of the World." The family has created a gathering place that celebrates our community's roots while bringing plenty of personality to downtown Oxford.
Originally known for its rotating selection of handcrafted beers, GravCap has expanded into the world of spirits and craft cocktails, earning its new identity as GravCap Brewstillery.
And with that expansion comes something fun: their signature Rocktails!
These creative cocktails add a whole new dimension to the GravCap experience. Whether you're a dedicated beer enthusiast or someone who prefers a cocktail, wine, cider, or seltzer, there's something for nearly everyone to enjoy.
Of course, the beer remains a star attraction. From hoppy IPAs and refreshing pilsners to creative seasonal selections, the Wrobel family continues to showcase its passion for brewing.
But what we especially love about GravCap is the atmosphere.
Inspired by the camaraderie of European beer halls, GravCap encourages guests to settle in, relax, and stay awhile. Challenge your sweetheart to a game of shuffleboard, enjoy trivia or music bingo, or catch some live entertainment.
And don't worry about dinner! GravCap regularly welcomes food trucks and partners with local businesses, so there are often tasty options to enjoy alongside your favorite beverage.
We've enjoyed many evenings here ourselves, including some memorable performances featuring our own Dawson Rogers playing the music of Elton John and Billy Joel!
It's the kind of place where you arrive for a drink and leave feeling like part of the family.
With its growing selection of handcrafted beverages, lively events, and welcoming atmosphere, GravCap is another wonderful example of the entrepreneurial spirit that makes Oxford so special.

Two Breweries, One Charming Michigan Town
One of the things we love most about Oxford is its sense of community.
Both HomeGrown and GravCap are family-owned businesses that have invested their hearts, creativity, and talents into making our hometown a wonderful place to visit.
And now that both establishments offer handcrafted spirits alongside their signature beers, there's even more reason to explore downtown Oxford.
Whether you're planning a romantic date night, meeting friends for a casual afternoon, or discovering Michigan's growing craft beverage scene, these two local favorites offer distinctly different experiences just steps apart.
Start with a locally brewed beer or handcrafted cocktail at HomeGrown, enjoy dinner from their kitchen, and then head down the street to GravCap for a Rocktail and some live entertainment.
Or reverse the order! That's the beauty of having two great hometown establishments within walking distance of each other.
While you're downtown, take some time to explore Oxford's locally owned boutiques, specialty shops, and charming historic streets. It's a wonderful way to spend an afternoon or evening in our little corner of Michigan.
