It’s no surprise the brewery with a huge biergarten, multiple fire pits and Igloos was recognized as one top destinations for Michigan’s Best Outdoor Dining in Grand Rapids.
It finished second behind poll winner One Twenty Three Tavern in Grand Rapids and ahead of Brass Ring Brewery in Grand Rapids, which is known for its outdoor shanties.

Something has gone mysteriously missing from Michigan’s cannabis industry over the last six months: cannabis sales.
Statewide sales hit a peak in July 2020, then began trending downward. What’s going on?
After opening the state’s first adult-use stores in Dec. 2019, Michigan’s cannabis industry saw sales increase month-over-month at a sharp incline. Recreational and medical sales combined for $35 million in revenue in Jan. 2020; by July 2020, the state was recording nearly $110 million in combined monthly sales.
