    I’m so excited to finally be sharing my  Craft Beer and Vegan Food Guide to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where I live! It’s been a lot of fun working on this guide over the past few months. I have tasted some incredible vegan food and experienced some incredible craft beers.

    Grand Rapids is often referred to Beer City USA for good reason. The city has been voted  America’s Best Beer Town and America’s Best Beer Scene by USA Today.

    When I first moved to Grand Rapids two years, I just assumed that all of the amazing craft breweries wouldn’t have vegan options on their menu. I was so wrong! There are quite a few breweries that offer vegan options right on the menu! As a vegan craft beer enthusiast, I always get excited whenever I see vegan options on the menu. I hope that this is a trend and more breweries across the country will be adding more vegan options.

    Don't forget to get your Beer City Brewsader Passport before you start your beercation in Grand Rapids.  You can get your copy at any of the breweries listed or at the Welcome Center at the the Grand Rapids Art Museum. If you visit 8 of the 32 breweries, you can get a  Brewsader t-shirt!

    FOUNDERS BREWING COMPANY

    A trip to Grand Rapids isn’t complete without a stop to the iconic Founders Brewery. Founders really put Grand Rapids on the beer scene map. Every time I go to Founders, there is always a big crowd. There are mulitple sitting areas for small to large groups. I especially love sitting outside enjoying one of their IPAs.

    What to order:

    They offer a few vegan options on the menu. They have a vegan sloppy joe and the Tree Hugger Sandwich can be veganzied. They also offer a few vegan sides like their sweet & tangy coleslaw.

    The Mitten Brewing Co. is one of our favorite breweries. The brewery is located in a historic Victorian firehouse and has a baseball theme. Not only do they have some incredible beer, they have a whole vegan menu!

    What to order:

    We always order the Thai Cobb Pizza with jackfruit.  It is one of our favorite pizzas. My husband loves bread and always orders their Vegan Cheesy Bread. From vegan cheese dip to pizza, there are so many great vegan options here.

    Harmony Hall is located on the Westside of Grand Rapids in a completely renovated Little Mexico building. The atmosphere of Harmony Hall has German beer hall influences. Harmony Hall is one of my favorite places for dinner and drinks.

    What to order:

    The menu has a few different vegan options. There are three different vegan sausage options. You can opt for a platter or served on a bun. I highly recommend getting the fries. I usually don't order fries, but I always make an exception here.

    The Knickerbocker is located on the west side of the city. The building is well designed and thought out. The beer hall opens up to a beer garden and outdoor family space. Upstairs they have an event space for local community events and a cocktail bar. The design of The Knickerbocker is one of my favorite parts about the brewery. I highly recommend walking around and explore the building on your visit.

    What to order:

    The menu features local, seasonal produce and the menu items change seasonally. They always have a few vegan options labeled right on the menu. My favorite was the tempeh ruben, but unfortunately it is no longer on the menu. Fingers crossed they bring it back! Pictured below is the Hummus Platter featuring black bean hummus,  pickles, veggies, roasted nuts and pita bread.
