                 MICHIGAN BREWERY OPENS BIG BUCK BREWERY & STEAKHOUSE
                              IN AUBURN HILLS, MICHIGAN


GAYLORD, Mich., October 1 -- Michigan Brewery, Inc. (Nasdaq:BBUC) today opened
its third Big Buck Brewery & Steakhouse, a 26,400 square foot unit in Auburn
Hills, Mich.  The restaurant and bar seat 650 and the brewery has a 15,000
barrel capacity.  The unit is located on Interstate 75 at Opdyke Road, 9/10 of a
mile north of the Silverdome, where the Detroit Lions play, and 2.2 miles from
the Palace, home of the Detroit Pistons and site of over 300 events a year.

Bill Rolinski, president, said, "The local reception has been extremely positive
already.  When we opened for lunch at 11:00 today, there were already people
lined up at the door.  Within half an hour, we were at capacity.  We had over
1,500 people at our grand opening V.I.P. party on Monday night, which was a
benefit for the Auburn Hills Boys and Girls Club, and the crowd's reaction to
our building, food and beer was very enthusiastic."

"This location has tremendous potential," said Gary Hewett, chief operating
officer.  "The Chrysler Tech Center, which is just across the highway, employs
18,000, and that is only one of the many office complexes in this area.  We will
be running a shuttle bus at noon to make it easy for people to come to Big Buck
for lunch."
