Welcome to Beer City USA. Grand Rapids is home to more than 80 breweries along its celebrated Beer City Ale Trail, and this four-hour walking tour takes you straight to the heart of it. Visit three award-winning breweries, where your tastings are arranged in advance so you can relax and focus on what matters, great beer and great company. Sip a doppelbock lager in a century-old German sausage factory, explore a nationally renowned brewery famous for its sour brews, and get up close with the tanks, grains, and stories behind the craft.

Between each stop, your guide shares 185 years of Grand Rapids brewing history, including the story of the German immigrants who took over the industry in the 1800s, the Polish community that helped keep them in business, and the cultural contrasts between the city's east and west sides that continue to shape its brewing scene today.
