Are you in the mood for a winter outing that will add a bit of adventure and a dash of deliciousness to your day? In lieu of indoor drinking or dining, many Michiganders are making memories among creative seating options this season. One unique brewery in West Michigan will capture your heart with its inventive outdoor seating and impressive menu – and you might never want to leave.
Brass Ring Brewing is located at 2404 Eastern Ave SE in Grand Rapids.
This down-to-earth destination is sometimes overlooked in favor of Grand Rapids’ more famous breweries, but trust us when we say that it’s well worth a visit. There’s so much to love.
Located in the Alger Heights neighborhood, Brass Ring serves small batch ales and plenty of fantastic food to accompany its brews. There’s a genuine sense of community here.
The brewery has joined the ranks of neighboring Michigan eateries in seeking creative seating solutions for winter months by opening beer shanties right on site. Talk about a fun way to unwind.
You’ll need to make a reservation in advance to snag one of these fun little lodges, but they’re well worth the extra planning. Scheduling information is available on the brewery’s website.
Shanties should be rented for members of the same household and each reservation guarantees 90 minutes of use. This is plenty of time to snag some tasty eats and sip a beer or two.
Enjoy a flight or indulge in a full pint of a Brass Ring favorite like the Wild Irish Red Ale, the PureMitten Double IPA, or the Golden Ticket Golden Ale. Is your mouth watering yet?
Even when the weather outside is frightful, you’ll find ways to stay cozy and comfortable in one of these charming shanties. You might never want to leave this festive, welcoming spot.
