Grand Rapids....i know, i know

Definately Hop Cat for the Crack Fries and Brewery Vivant.

 

Don't do it, is a trap!!! They are fooling us all with there marketing and tshirt line :-)

 

It has nothing to do with beer, but do yourself a favor and start with a good base at Marie Catribs. It is one of the best breakfast joints I've personally ever been in.

It is more than that though. One of those places you wish you had in your own town.

 

What's the basis for that statement? Perrin is a great brewery. If their t-shirts are high-priced, don't buy them.

 

If Siciliano's is cleaned out of Short's stuff then International Beverage or GB Russo on the east side of town are also good stops, or Martha's Vineyard is just east of the downtown GR area.

 

Good luck with that drive back!

 

I live by Big Rapids. BM if you want to do a trade or need any info.

 

If you're staying in Big Rapids then don't overlook Cranker's; they brew some good stuff too.

 

I was referring to the parent company, this is the basis for my statement-

They do make great beer, I personally choose not to support them. There are a lot of reasons they got so big so fast, the brewers they hired and the capital they had at their disposal being two.
