The nearest and newest brewery to my home here in THE beer city that is Grand Rapids. You could honestly walk here, it's only a mile away. I've not visited, yet, but I hear the food is south american / Caribbean, and the beers are supposed to be great as well!

This is a great little bar / restaurant. They have a TON of michigan beer on tap, and spectacular food to boot. It doesn't hurt that it's about a mile away from the house either. Walkable!

Some of the best bites in town. Get there before 7 or 8 though, because when they sell out of food, they close!

The Sovengard is my new favorite place in Grand Rapids, partly becuase I helped build it! Their food is VERY farm to table and hyper local ingredients are used. They also have a variety of vegetarian and vegan choices on their menu. They have 20 beers on tap, many more in bottles, both local and others from around the country, and the wines and liquors are predominantly local as well. The beer garden should be finished in Mid to Late September!

Great new brewery in GR. They've been around in retail and a small tasting room in Detroit, but this GR is somewhat new. Nice spot. Good food and beer. NO PARKING, kinda rough. Uber here and walk the rest of the night.
