The steadfast vision for Paddle Hard Brewing Company is now a bustling reality for owners Cindy & Dave Vargo. Since Paddle Hard opened its doors in December, downtown Grayling is glowing with the kind of ambition a promising young business musters up. Delicious food paired with a great beer selection meld with the good vibes of a community well-stitched. So we had to know more, and that’s how we met owner Dave Vargo who has us convinced that Paddle Hard is leading a change.

We want Paddle Hard to lead the change in helping revive our community. What’s important to us is that the community see and understand that what we are doing here is for Grayling. The whole idea behind the business is to give back to the community. To create synergy within the community to create a thriving downtown. Grayling is such an awesome place to live, work and vacation and we not only need, but want everyone to stop, stay and play. Paddle Hard will change our main street and bring people into our community that may have never been here. Paddle Hard will create the exposure and destination that brings people to downtown and that’s exciting for us. We love the idea that we get a chance to give back to the community by helping revive our community. Life’s Short. Paddle Hard!
