Kevin PfisterAugust 17, 2013Great spot for waiting on a Megabus or Greyhound bus! Right next to both- I love the Red's Rye, but the Devil Dancer triple IPA is awesome.
Mark StamerMarch 31, 2013The only way you can go wrong is by not entering this brewery. Oh and yes KBS backs up the hype, just buy it of you don't understand.
Bring a sleeve of oreos and dip them in your oatmeal stout... Its to die for!!!
If you aren't sure which beer to try, have the Crimson Dynamo! One of the best I have had!
- If you come to see & hear GRJO on the first & third Sunday, be sure to come early to get a seat!
The sandwiches here are among the best ever assembled. Try them all!
Amanda ZylstraJuly 27, 2014Not a bad place to see bands play. But all the beer I have had tasted like crap, and they don't have mixers.
Be sure to get there before 9pm on Saturday nights otherwise you pay a $5 cover!
all day ipa and the endurance ale are founder's best kept secrets.
Tina FrankenbergerApril 21, 2013If u like micro brew, u must go try Grand Rapids Brewing Co, organic and in my opinion much better, not that there is any bad about this (other than being over crowd & over priced)
Greg CreasonJanuary 5, 2010Great beer, great atmosphere, must see for the craft beer lover visiting Grand Rapids

We pride ourselves on over-indulged brewing—which has helped us become the world’s second highest-rated brewery. Our taproom is a casual beer hall where titles are left at the door. Enjoy a sandwich and one of a dozen or more beers produced on-site, while you listen to amazing live music.

"Never had a bad sandwich here. All of the meats and bread are tasty. Try the bread bowl soup or the crab dip. Beer cheese dip is tasty as well. Try a sandwich with the corned beef or chicken."
