10 Best Craft Breweries near Rockford

“Went for the first time (hoping to buy bread, lol, they dont have any). We were impressed right away! First, the prices are amazing for a Rockford restaurant, 2nd nearly everything is homemade!! Down to the French Onion Soup recipe being the same one from the original Arnies I grew up with and was SO GOOD. Next the Chicken sandwich was seriously amazing! The Im a snob for French Dips so that was a 6 out of 10, but thats the only complaint. Even the ranch dressing on the salad was homemade and best Ive ever had! I cannot wait to try the entire menu! I hear their Pizza is award winning! Our Server and even the chef/owner were great!“

“Delicious well done! On a pretzel bun! Side of sweet potato fries was delicious! ‘Q’ (Quentin) was a delight as our server! He is very professional and engaging! Thanks Q!“

“We stopped here on our way to TC from Grandville as it was one of the few sit down restaurants open past 8 on a Sunday evening! The service was above and beyond! So friendly and efficient!! Food was so yummy! The glass of wine I had was perfect! Smooth and mild! Atmosphere was great! So happy we stumbled upon this place! Definitely will be back!“

“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!“

“Good brews, had the Erie stout, very good and wife tried the sangria and cider both were very good, beer prices are good the food prices are a bit high especially for the appetizers. Overall a good stop if you are biking the white pine trai.“

“Always enjoy your beer but why does your bathroom resemble a jail cell? Weird, dark, lighting and dark colors. Also, that stainless steal sink that stays on for maybe a fraction of a second.

Who saw this aesthetic and thought, I'd feel comfortable in my most vulnerable state here.

Very rapey“

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!“

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

“Had a great time as always at the archival, one of my favorite spots!! Love there honey mead and if you just so happen to stop for brunch there south western is amazing!“

“The cocktails made with in house gin and rye are dah bomb! The servers are attentive and personable. The food is amazing - highly recommend the fried rice and cod. Capt Dave for the beer win with a visit to the gorgeous beer garden in the back. A must visit when in the Grand Rapids area.“
