20 Best Craft Breweries in Grand Rapids

“My husband has always loved the beer from here so we took advantage of a trip to Grand Rapids to stop in and have a couple flights. All our drinks were amazing and I was particularly thrilled with the blue slushie drink. We enjoyed the ambiance of the outdoor seating area with comfortable picnic tables with umbrellas. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Looking forward to our next trip there!“

“I've been coming here off and on for the last couple of years and every single time I have been greeted with open arms and the best hospitality. Nice relaxing atmosphere and fun vibes. Always strike great conversation with whomever is working or visiting. The Kombucha is top notch and the "Sound Experience" on certain Thursday's are phenomenal. Check it out!“

“Daughter kept hyping up Apfelwein she had in Frankfurt. I stumbled across KB looking for cider places. Apfelwein on the menu! What a fun surprise! Far better than the cider place we visited next and tried a 6 cider flight. We only wish we could’ve brought some home in a growler 😞 but I suppose we’ll have to return :)“

“I went picked Brass Ring Brewing to celebrate my birthday with my family. I choose Brass Ring because I was interested in trying their cask ales. What I found at Brass Ring was a level of customer service that I have rarely found across the food service industry. We showed up at Brass Ring to find that a very large group was dining there, taking up a majority of the seating. They don't take reservations, so it was going to be a challenge finding a table for our group of 6. The owner heard the staff struggling to find us an available table. He jumped in and found a solution. He personally asked a couple that was seated at a large table if they would be willing to move. They graciously accepted to make room for us. This level of customer service has obviously been trained into the entire staff because our waiter was the most helpful and hospitable server I've ever encountered. Firstly, he was extremely knowledgeable of food and drink menu, helping us to navigate it superbly. He also got the entire restaurant to sing "Happy Birthday" with us when it was time for dessert. The food and drinks were top notch, but the customer service was out of this world. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to the Brass Ring. You will not be disappointed!“

“Amazing staff and beers! 🍻“

“We had a great experience at this brewery! The beer was excellent, with plenty of variety to choose from, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The space is on the smaller side, but it’s incredibly welcoming and has a great atmosphere.
One of the best parts is being able to build your own flight, which makes it easy to try a range of different beers. Everything is also really affordable, which is a huge plus. It’s a fantastic spot to relax and sample some great brews — we’ll definitely be back!“

“Great beers, food, and service! Highly recommend.“

“Update: 20260628.

Hey Ed! It was great to see you again. It's been 2-3 years, I think, and we really dig your new menu. Holy cow, the beers were perfectly to our liking as well. You must be very proud of your team! We'll try to make it back before we bounce in October. Cheers!

Great modern vibe in an old space. Beers are delicious, and the selection was great. Cider & wine too! Don't overlook the opportunity to enjoy something from the menu. Simply wow!“

“I enjoyed my experience. So why 4 stars? Because everything there is just about perfect. Duck nachos? Delicious, but expensive. Beer Cheese? Good, but costs $3 more for an extra pretzel stick (only comes with 3 small ones). Beer? All good, but just shy of truly interesting variety.

Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but know that this is going to be a pricey experience and your mileage may vary.“

“Saw a highway sign and was curious about the fun name. Asparagus tacos-unique and delicious! Flight of beers, cider and seltzers are good too. Welcoming staff and fun shopping. Be sure to pick up Hippie Chips. Well done folks!“

“I've been once but haven't been able to go again. Tried to go yesterday but didn't realize the school was on spring break. please work on adding signage to your doors and updating Facebook.“

“Good place to have a beer. Good selection of different kinds of beer. Have some space for games like pinball, darts and the like. No food here so don’t come hungry. I had the Anastasia Imperial Stout and it was good. Worth checking out if you’re in the area.“

“Amazing staff. Good service“

“Atwater is a brewery downtown Grand Rapids in the old Old Manor Building.
They have amazing beer, and quite tasty food. However parking sucks as there is none. I've been told you can park in the post office lot but you run the risk of getting towed. So. Yeah.
Great place. Hard to get to.“

“Harmony Brewing was a great stop while exploring the Grand Rapids beer scene. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere felt welcoming and full of character, with that comfortable neighborhood brewery feel that makes you want to stay awhile. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make the whole visit an enjoyable experience.

The beer selection had a great variety of styles, with plenty of creative and well-crafted options to choose from. Each beer we tried showcased the care and passion that goes into their brewing, and the food paired perfectly with the lineup. It’s clear that Harmony Brewing has built a place where quality beer, good food, and community all come together.

We’re always searching for breweries that offer a memorable experience beyond just what’s in the glass, and Harmony Brewing delivers. The combination of great beer, a relaxed atmosphere, and a genuine sense of community makes it a must-visit spot in Grand Rapids. We’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of what they’re pouring.“

“amazing beers and cocktails. and the food is 🤤 awesome atmosphere and staff! will be back!“

“This is a review for their Centennial Room Service and staff. We had a post elopement wedding celebration here, and we were blown away by the attentiveness and professionalism we experienced. Helena is amazing, I had a million questions leading up to the event, she was very prompt with responses and providing me with needed information. Our bartenders that night (7/25/26), I’m so sorry I can’t recall their names, were absolutely fantastic. Assisting me with with technology issues and providing service to all the guests. We received so many compliments on the food and space, so I really just wanted to say THANK YOU for making our day so amazing.“

“This was our first visit and our experience was fantastic. Our server Sam did an awesome job. He was very helpful with the menu and keeping tabs on us during our visit. He told us it was his first week as a server. The food was really really good. We will definitely be back.“
