TIMEOUT CHICAGO | CATE HUGUELET, MORGAN OLSEN, & SAMANTHA NELSON #6. HARBOR COUNTRY, MI

Driving time from Chicago: One and a half hours

Just across the Indiana border, Michigan’s lakeside “Harbor Country” is only an hour and a half drive from downtown Chicago. Start at the north end, in Sawyer, where you can visit the original taproom of Greenbush Brewing Co. Pair a pour of Star Chicken Shotgun IPA with some barbecue or Cajun fare. Up next, take the Red Arrow Highway down the lakeshore for great shopping, like hunting through the Harbert Antique Mall. Head back inland to the artsy community of Three Oaks to finish your day at Journeyman Distillery. A $13 tour and tasting nets you samples of 11 different spirits made in the converted corset factory. Plan to sit down for a meal at the distillery’s Staymaker restaurant afterward; you’ll need some food before getting back on the road to Chicago. —Kris Vire
