30 Best Craft Breweries near Kentwood

“Absolutely loved our visit here. The food is amazing and the beer pairs perfectly. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone needs to experience this gem.“

“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!“

“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!“

“If you love absolute creamers, then this place is absolutely for you!
The Brewmaster, Sweet Lu, is a standalone mixologist in Grand Rapids, crafting up some of the tastiest dirty bevies around these parts. Downright righteous flavors and spectacularly sips to satiate your desire for sours.“

“Arvon Brewing Co.'s GR Taproom offers a delightful experience for beer enthusiasts. The diverse selection of craft beers caters to varying palates, and the knowledgeable staff provides helpful recommendations. The rustic yet inviting ambiance creates a comfortable setting for socializing. Whether you're a seasoned beer connoisseur or a casual drinker, Arvon Brewing Co. delivers a memorable taproom experience worth exploring.“

“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 :)“

“Good beers and good burgers.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, fast and friendly staff, great drink choices. We went when it was fairly busy and nearly full and still got seated and drinks within five minutes. The Strawbarb sour and Wizard Burial Ground quadrupel are strongly recommended.“

“Latte was was wonderful . Great espresso . Nice place . Will be back . Great prices too for such high quality .“

“Greyline Brewing Company is hands down my favorite brewery. They consistently deliver a fantastic selection of beers—there’s truly something for every taste, and each one is brewed with care and creativity. Lately, they’ve been stepping up their food game in a big way, and the new offerings are a perfect match for the drinks. The service is always top-notch—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Combine that with a laid-back, chill atmosphere, and you’ve got a place that keeps you coming back. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or just looking for a great spot to hang out, Greyline never disappoints.“

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

“This has been a favorite spot of mine for a while now. Just today I realized I've never reviewed it! Excellent beer with a nice variety. Try the Nachos; I'd drive out here just for those honestly.

The Oktoberfest they put on was lots of fun and I hope they do it again next year. Maybe with an expanded menu?“

“Our food was very good. We started with their meatballs, very tasty. My wife had the fish sandwich, and I did the brisket udon noodle dish. Both are very delicious. Our server, Hunter, did a fanatic job as well. I really like the Bokonon IPA as well. Will be back.“

“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.“

“Best group of regulars around, if you are looking for a welcoming crowd to hang out with, or just want to pull up and stay to yourself this is the place.

Hopknocker is a solid beer and the choice of most of the regulars, many other great choices if a hoppy IPA is not your thing, great stouts, pilsner, specialties(try the Pickle Tink Strawberry Wheat) and even non-hopped gruit style beer(Zingberene).“

“This place is amazing my whole family including grandkids come here great food amazing staff you guys are missing out if you haven’t been ?“

“Loved getting to see Domestic Problems perform! The beer was great while Dan and Whitney gave us great service.“

“Excellent experience at Alebird! Our bartender Bri was amazing. Very personable and friendly. Other staff was great too. Beer was very good and craft cocktails were great too. Highly recommend the Michigan Mule. They do also have a full bar and domestic beers for those who don’t enjoy craft beers“

“Amazing staff. Good service“

“Nice Michigan Brew pub featuring Atwater brews from Detroit. They serve food and drinks, with mostly indoor seating, but outdoor is available on nice days. A nice stop after a performance at Devos Place, or if you happen yo be downtown.

There is a shuffle-board table inside for playing, as well as several TV screens to watch the games.

Good variety of beers from IPA's to lagers and others.

Prices are about what you'd expect, but there is no parking lot, so you'll need to find a garage or other lot.“

“Pros
Service: There were two people working. They were decently busy, and the two were hustling! But they were happy to take the time to give local recommendations. They were happy we were there.

Beer: Decent. It wasn’t our favorite in the area, but certainly enjoyable.

Atmosphere: Super relaxed and chill. It’s in a cool little space.

Cons
Seating: We sat at the bar and the seating was uncomfortable.

Overall: I really enjoyed this brewery.“

“Do you have time to kill before leaving Grand Rapids? This local brewery has bites and beers and service that'll keep you busy until your departure. Just a short drive from Gerald Ford Airport, Railtown Brewing offers friendly service and terrific beers to enjoy before you head out of town. Their burger was not too shabby either.“

“Kyle was hilarious on our tour, very down to earth. Super friendly staff and their new kitchen menu is very delicious and goes well with their already famus and historic beer. A must visit place in grand rapids! We will revisit in the future.“

“I ordered the pork chop. It was huge and I took half home for another meal. My item was a weekend special and included salad and a desert. My husband had the salmon and liked it very much. We split my lettuce wedge and shared my desert and it was perfect.“
