We were informed by a server at Harmony Hall Brewery that City Built had some spectacular Puerto Rican food. We stopped in for some beer and a snack. We had tacos, chips/salsa and their pastelillos and the food was excellent. I had their Flower Power Pale that was made with green tea and chamomile. Excellent […]
We walked to The Mitten Brewing Co. on the way back into downtown Grand Rapids from Greyline Brewing Co. Mitten Brewing is a vintage baseball themed microbrewery/pizzeria housed in the historic Engine House #9. We just stopped for one pint but we did hear the pizza was very good. Lots of baseball decorations and I […]
We were told by our Founder’s tour guide that Greyline Brewing Co. had some of the best beer in town (besides Founder’s of course). We were glad we made the trip. It is a little ways out so we Uber’d there and then walked back to downtown Grand Rapids (stopping at Mitten and City Built […]
I visited the Founder’s Taproom for the first time a couple of years ago and it was winter time. We scheduled a “beercation” with our son in Grand Rapids in July 2018 and added the Founder’s Brewery tour to our list of things we had to do over the weekend. The tour is about an […]
Harmony Hall on Bridge St. in Grand Rapids is a hip and cool spot for beer and German food. We had the BRAUNSCHWEIGER DIP and it was spectacular. Beer was also very good. Just down the street from the Jolly Pumpkin Pizza & Brewery and The Knickerbocker – New Holland Brewery. We were staying at the […]
The Jolly Pumpkin Pizza & Brewery was our last stop of our FRI evening Grand Rapids “Beercation”. We sat outside, had a few pints and then ordered some take-away food for our hotel. We were staying at the Amway Grand Plaza (a short walk across the river). Beer, food and location were great. Near The […]
This was our 2nd stop on our “beercation”. Apparently they opened this spectacular space in 2016. This was definitely one of my favorite brewery/distillery spaces I have ever visited (and I have visited quite a few). We just stopped in for one and decided to go for their spirits (an Old Fashioned) which was great. […]
Our first stop on our “beercation”. We stayed at the Amway Grand Plaza for a weekend of craft beer. We have been to Grand Rapids in the past but this trip we tried to focus on some of the breweries we haven’t visited. Atwater Brewery started in Detroit and they now have a location in […]
The Cobblestone Pub doesn’t have much for curb appeal but I heard about it on Anthony Bourdain’s Dublin layover show and it was a short walk from our Airbnb in Smithfield Market area (check out map above). Great music, beer selection and nice outside area. This was our last pub stop while in Dublin so […]
The Church is a beautiful bar located away from the Temple area (but within walking distance). Check out the map to see the location in relationship to Temple Bar/Trinity College/Jameson/Guinness Storehouse. We walked there on the way back to the Smithfield Market area. Always interesting […]
