    My buddy is driving from NY to Grand Rapids. Any local stuff that you would recommend? As far as bottles/cans he can bring back. I prefer IPAs/Stouts. Or anything that I might not be able to get in NY that is available in Grand Rapids. Thanks, cheers!

    Perrin's is definitely worth a visit. I was going to recommend their Malted Milk Ball Porter but I see that it is not on their taplist right now. Regardless, they have plenty of other good beers to choose from and their facility is definitely worth checking out. I also like that you can purchase half growlers in addition to regular growlers. Here is their current taplist - be aware that it is a two page document. http://perrinbrewing.com/menu/

    If you go to Founder's, you may as well check out HopCat. They are only a quarter to half mile walk away from each other.

    And everyone is right on with Short's. Everything they make is money in the bank.
