Sit Back and Enjoy the Tale of Thornapple Brewery

Our founders, Jeff and Eric, rose from mere mortals to beer deities. In 2017, they decided to bless Cascade Township with their brewing prowess and created the first brewpub in the area. Their goal? To bestow upon the people of Grand Rapids the gift of quality beer. Since then, their brewery has become a shining star in the local beer scene, and the citizens of Grand Rapids have embraced them with open arms.
