ROCKFORD, MI - It’s almost perfect.
Great food, great beer and great service, all surrounded by natural beauty of the White Pine Trail. It’s almost as if Third Nature Brewing Company was built as a set for a Pure Michigan television commercial.
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.

“I love the classy outdoor tent and heaters and the vibe around the piazza at Studio Park. A great addition to downtown GR. It makes getting their smash burger and California garlic fries all the better.
