Hey All. I have one evening basically (tonight) to hit a spot or two. Already have founders and new holland on the plans for some events the next two nights. I am staying downtown so open to anywhere reasonable. Definitely want local and lean toward IPA or sours. Thoughts??? Thanks a ton!
Search "Grand Rapids trip" on the search bar and you'll see a lot of different information/recommendations from people on this site. Look for some M-43 while you're in town, should be another drop of it soon. Rishi's, Horrock's, Martha's Vineyard, Siciliano's, and GB Russo's are all great places to grab some bottles to take back. Grab a Vivant Strawberry Rhubarb sour, should be plenty around and it's very tasty.
What he said..... Also, check out Hop cat if you are already downtown. Enjoy Founders, they have a great tap list this week, lots tap room only stuff on right now and 6 BA beers
Doom drops at Founders on Friday. If you like sours then I'd highly recommend New Hollands latest Incorrigible with mango and pineapple. It's quite great. Also definitely check out Vivant. As mentioned earlier the Strawberry Rhubarb is great and their food is even better. Harmony Hall is right down the street from New Holland's Knickerbocker and worth a visit. If you like cider then Vandermill is definitely worth a visit. Elk is pretty good, but nothing mind blowing. Perrin is pretty far from downtown, but No Rules is still on the shelves. There are plenty of good beer bars around town that will offer the opportunity to sample from several breweries.
