Greyline Brewing Co.

Stopped in to try this place while visiting from out of town. Great little place! There was plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. The beer was very good, and they had free popcorn. We spent a couple of very enjoyable hours here.

We had a great experience at this brewery! The beer was excellent, with plenty of variety to choose from, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The space is on the smaller side, but it’s incredibly welcoming and has a great atmosphere. One of the best parts is being able to build your own flight, which makes it easy to try a range of different beers. Everything is also really affordable, which is a huge plus. It’s a fantastic spot to relax and sample some great brews — we’ll definitely be back!

It's rare to find a brewery with equally great beers and great food--Greyline delivers! We ordered a couple of flights and liked the Mosacca, Fade, and Hopsicle the most. For an app, we ordered the homemade cheese dip (they also have free popcorn), which was good. For our food, we ordered the Jive Chicken and Foghorn Blue (homemade potato salad!) sandwiches. They were both outstanding!! Great, easy to talk to and informative staff. Great experience, we'll be back!!

We were very excited to see a place that seemed to "specialize" in reubens. Ordered a regular and one with a cabbage slaw instead of kraut. Also excited rye bread was from a local bakery. Kraut (bavarian style) and slaw were good. Bread was the lightest rye ever (almost white bread) and the corned beef was very sparse, hardly any present! Not good, especially for $14. The side of potato chips for $1.50 was a minimal potion as well. My daughter got a sandwich on pretzel roll. Again, very little meat. The bread was good though. They did have a great beer selection at very fair prices. Unfortunately, we aren't drinking alcohol anymore. Looked delicious though.

Greyline Brewing Company is hands down my favorite brewery. They consistently deliver a fantastic selection of beers—there’s truly something for every taste, and each one is brewed with care and creativity. Lately, they’ve been stepping up their food game in a big way, and the new offerings are a perfect match for the drinks. The service is always top-notch—friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Combine that with a laid-back, chill atmosphere, and you’ve got a place that keeps you coming back. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or just looking for a great spot to hang out, Greyline never disappoints.

We didn't eat, but enjoyed the free popcorn. Humblebee and Kona brown were our choices today. And we really liked them both. Brewery hoping today. Kuester is our next stop, we just left the mitten. Enjoying our beautiful fall day

Great place to hang out and grab some food and beer. Very friendly staff and quick service. They have lots of indoor seating, plus a nice outdoor eating area that is dog friendly. The maple pot roast slider was fabulous and so unique with the maple mayonnaise. I also liked the mango peach sangria which wasn’t overly sweet like most sangrias. Definitely stop by and check them out. Update: I just had the Carolina Pulled Pork sandwich as a wrap and it was exquisite!! It was so delicious that I ate the whole thing, I didn’t care how full I got. I would eat more if I could, until I exploded, it was that good!

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonable prices and good beer selection. Couldn't decide on a beer, so we got a flight! Beers ranged from good to great. Cuban Nachos are great. Lots of meat and melted cheese - not the usual doritos & "squeezy cheese"! Highly recommend!

We had a lunch date at our favorite brewery today! They recently added four Koegel dogs on a delicious bun for $3, $4 and $5. Amazing price!! The potato salad has a hint of blue cheese and is yummy! The menu is extensive with nachos, sliders, tacos, Reuben's and other handhelds. The atmosphere is cozy and fun. They have live music several nights a week at 7pm. Our servers Christine and Mel are friendly and fun! Besides beer they have ciders, sangria and fun cocktails. Great atmosphere and great food!!!

I cannot stop thinking about the fluffy Nantucket bread my sandwich came on. I got the jive chicken, which was a tad spicy for me, and it was delicious. We also ordered chips and salsa to share. Prices are a bit up there for a sandwich where you still have to pay for a side but you definitely will be full. Beers are good with a good variety of crafts. I love how much they advertise that their outdoor patio is dog friendly.

Came for dinner during the week and thought it was decent. Nothing spectacular but it was fine otherwise. They have a really cool space with quite a few tables inside and an outdoor area with casual seating. I had their solshine beer and it says on the menu that it's an American wheat but dang this tasted so hoppy. It tasted like an IPA to me. My friends and I split the deviled eggs and these were very good! It's hard to go wrong with deviled eggs and they hit the spot. For my entree I had the west side dip which is a roast beef sandwich served with au jus to dip in. Like I said before, it was fine! Nothing crazy. Servers kept coming to check on us to make sure we had what we needed which was nice. Everything was fairly priced. I wish they had fries as an option instead of chips!

Passing thru GR, a good local brew and a sandwich sounded like a good dinner plan. Greyline was not too far off the highway, so there we headed. It's a very cozy space mostly painted...grey. It fits with the industrial surroundings. We were waited on quickly and got samples of 3 beers, a hoppy wheat, a dry IPA, and an American black ale. Both the hoppy varieties were good, but the black ale stood out. Lots of body, lots of bite, chewy like a good oatmeal stout. We sent our server back with orders for two pints, as well as for a cajun chicken sandwich and a chicken reuben. I will remember that black ale for a while, though the sandwiches were forgettable. Just not much flavor. The cajun-spiced chicken barely gave my tongue a tingle, and the homemade bleu cheese dressing either got spread too thin or didn't have much of the bleu to begin with. But the mayonnaise definitely came through. My wife's reuben likewise had little flavor except for what she spread the 1000 Island dressing on. So, 4 stars for the beer, 2 for the meal, 3 for Greyline.

I stopped into Greyline on my way through GR and although the service was very good I thought the beer was just OK. Maybe it was that the styles they had weren't my favorite. Next time through I will stop in again and hopefully will be able to raise this rating a bit.

The food was very tasty and delicious. Nachos to start was an excellent choice and most chips were loaded which is the sign of a good dish! Also had some in home sauces to add for an extra flavor and kick! (One mild and one hot) Our sandwiches were equally packed with flavor and prepared fresh. The service was friendly and comfortable, got a little busy and would have liked another beer but wasn't sure with wait time. Pretty solid beer and cider etc list to choose from! Would definitely recommend when in the area.

Greyline has a very fun Friday night vibe! They had good music going and there were quite a few groups enjoying beer and the vibes. The staff were really friendly and attentive, really enjoyable visit and we will be back!

Nice atmosphere with great daytime hours. Spaced out area with good menu options for food. We got the chips and cheese which was a nice snack. Liked the options of small 4.5oz pours to make flights. We liked the beer, it was traditional tasting and nothing too fancy. Nice place for an afternoon or after work.

Stopped in for lunch on a quick pass through. The Cubano Slider and Chicken Taco were excellent! The beer was pretty dang good too.

Solid spot! The food was to die for, especially the nachos. The atmosphere was solid and chill and the service was pleasant. We will be back! Great spot for a brewery tour!

I don't understand this is the original brew master that made Founders what it is today. I thought the beer was nothing special at all. Kind of like drinking very dry champagne. For a Saturday night it wa kind of dead even though it's a few miles from downtown in a place you really have no reason being there unless your going there. Off the beaten path a bit, but worth a taste if you're over that way

I was surprised by the variety and selection offered. They had everything from lagers to Imperial IPAs. I chose Almost Famous which is a delightful and strong chocolate coffee oatmeal stout. It was robust and full of flavor. I'd definitely go back for the beer. Dinner was the maple brisket slider and a cup of Mac and cheese. The slider was tasty but Mac and cheese disappointing. Not sure how to describe it but the cheese was off.

Since my last visit the have added more seating inside & expanded the food offerings. Food was good & beer was good - pretty small tap list with a few ciders. The Kona Brown was delish! Parking still not awesome- small lot & fills fast. Busy on a Friday night but we were able to grab 2/3 of a community table (Wich are convenient!) Service was good - lots of ppl checking in w us & offering refills or taking empties. Food came out quickly!

Took a girl here on a first date tonight. We both got the cider - it was pretty good - 7/10 drink. I bought a "pint" but it came in a stemless wine glass. It looked small but I trusted the bartender. She ended up getting a size that was "half of that" at the end of the night. We poured it into the wine glass and our analysis showed it was indeed more than "half of that" so to save money get two sizes of the half pint and thank me later.

This is a fantastic brewery. The staff is UBER a friendly and kind I loved the Good Good Thank you for a great experience

Excellent beer. They have a large selection of brews, particularly IPAs if that's your thing but they have plenty of other options too. The food is also much better than one might expect from a simple brewery. The taco are great!

Nice variety of beers along with a mainly taco menu. Very friendly staff and a decent beer garden.

Update, the steak sandwich is back and this place is still fabulous! We will be happy to continue returning. Great flavors and nice beer selection.

Greyline Brewing Co. ⁣ ⁣ Raise your hand if you've been to this HIDDEN GEM!! ‍‍ (If not, save this post or add it to the list!) ⁣ ⁣ Greyline Brewing is just a short drive from downtown and is the d e f i n i t i o n of a hidden gem! ⁣ ⁣ Their service is always great and the staff is knowledgeable and oh so friendly. ⁣

I was visiting my sister and we decided to go to a brewery. I didn't feel they had a lot of choices. The beer they did have was very good. They were not serving food but did have snacks. Our favorite was chips and dill dip. The dip was full of flavor. The staff was helpful

Great space. Awesome beer selection. Personally I prefer their burgers over Stella's. We came here on a quiet weeknight and had a good time. Would like to come back with a few friends on a weekend!

This is a pretty good lunch spot! Their menu is loaded with yummy items. So far I've only tried salads (southwestern and Cobb) and they are fine. The picture I've included is the bruschetta. It's yummy, but it's served cold and I prefer it warmed. My bf tried one of the hot dogs and potato salad. These were both Excellent! The hot dog had nice firmness and the bun was good! The potato salad is easily some of the best in town! Definitely stop by and give it a shot. They have tons of sandwiches that look delicious.

We headed to Greyline after talking to someone who worked at Founders. He explained that the head brewer of Founders left for a bit to start Greyline and then returned. I really like the atmosphere of the brewery. It's very clean and trendy, and it reminded me of a brewery we went to in Sevilla. We sat at the bar and enjoyed a flight and chips and salsa with cheese. The chips and salsa were locally made and pretty good. The beers were decent, but we had better beers throughout the day. My favorite was the Mosacca, which was excellent!

Amazing beer, amazing burger and amazing atmosphere! Live music with friends on a cool fall evening by the fire. A great experience to end the week.

A nice surprise! Great beers and great tasting tacos. Even just the chips and cheese were good. Good service for one person. Outside seating available. Very nice.

We heard that this brewery was started by one of the old brewers at Founders, so we decided to stop in. We came during covid season and had a great experience, so I can only imagine that it's even better under normal circumstances. We ordered a flight (they sell small pours of all their beers) and really enjoyed the IPA's. They offer a small selection of beers, but everything we tried was great. They were not serving food when we came in, but they seemed flexible on bringing in your own food. Very friendly staff and good beer! You can't ask for much more.

On a long weekend of brewery hopping, Greyline was stop number 16 of 17. I would have thought I would have been burned out by then, but Greyline was refreshing enough to be a pleasant surprise. We tried the DryPA and the Green Jacket (Double IPA). Both were very good. We were also hungry enough to order some food. The pretzels and beer cheese were pretty good - the pretzels were surprising big and soft braided pretzel style. The cheese was nothing amazing, but hit the spot. A little out of the way but worth a stop!

Shakey Knees! Shakey Knees!! It was one of the best stouts I've ever had from a microbrewery. We visited on a weeknight so it wasn't getting lit or anything. The bartenders were all very friendly and engaging. We were free to try a taste of any of their beers without hesitation. Once I tried Shakey Knees, I was hooked. Everything else was solid, though. The music was pretty bad at first (SO MUCH DAVE MATTHEWS), and I jokingly commented on it, and they changed it to something that more fit the mood. I feel like I could have added the bartenders to Facebook and we'd be friends. I really like the laid-back nature of this brewery and I'm excited to visit again during my next GR trip.

Great place sort of off the beaten path. They seem to have a pretty straightforward brewery thing going on. Yes the beer is good. And yes the place is clean. We all enjoy and expect that from this place. It's also never been overly busy, but I've always gone before 5. Don't judge! What I also particularly enjoy about the place is the aesthetic that they go for. They're a bit refined with their merchandise offering and the artwork for the beer is something I wish I was tall enough to take pictures of. This place is definitely on the normal rotation schedule. Oh and can't forget to add, they have their own lot and outdoor space!

Oh Kona Brown how do I love thee Greyline is a terrific stand alone brewery on the west side of Grand Rapids, add to that the original brewer of my favorite beer (formerly of Perrin) is there recreating the real Kona Brown I know and love well.. No more phona brown for me now that I've found Greyline. There are so many other terrific beers as well, the Bad Rabbit stout came home with us, the rambler and Blackguard are all super. Not being a fan of IPAs or fruity brews I can't say but given the consistent quality of the dark brews I would wager they are worth a try. The staff are super friendly and fun. The only hold-backs are they don't do growler fills, but crowlers are available to take home. The food is still not quite there. They have a small prep area and while there is a lot on the menu, none of it is that memorable. The sliders and chips were ok, the soft pretzels were not very fresh tasting. i think they would do well to simplify and really focus on 7-8 good starters. The beer is the star here as it should be. PS fun fact Kona Brown is named after the brewer's dog. (which makes me love it even more.) Good dog!

This place was great the first time we came here over the summer when all they had were their brews and some snack foods like chips and dip. My bf and I came here last week, and were pleasantly surprised to discover they had a few menu options. We each got a burger and we both thought they were amazing! Our friend got the chicken taco and said it was extremely good as well! We will definitely be coming back!

They are doing only pick up. We didn't know but we are there. Ask them to if I can buy beer they said yes. Very welcome way... They explain what kind beer they carry. Also they explain they have special day... etc.... very nice person!! And I liked beer!

We stopped here on a Sunday and we absolutely loved it! It's very quaint and has an industrial feel to the place and has outdoor seating. I found a really good fruit beer and even ordered some to go! I started with the pickle wraps and they were really good and a lot for an appetizer! My hubs got the chicken wrap with fries and said it was really good! We can't wait to go back and try more of the menu!

Greyline looks like it's located in an old storefront, maybe an old gas station. The space is clean and bright with a beautiful bar. Our server wasn't unfriendly, but a bit reserved. We wandered in with some time to kill before a WhiteCaps game. I ordered a three samples; Fade, a nitro oat stout, Shugga Milk, a bourbon stout, and Fruitopia, a fruit beer. Fade was a solid stout, no complaints. Shugga Milk was decent, although I have had better bourbon stouts, and Fruitopia was good. We live on the Eastside of the state and with the number of breweries in Michigan, I wouldn't make Greyline my first choice. That being said, their beer was very good and I would stop in again if I was nearby. We didn't try any of the food as we had eaten previously, but after seeing their food reviews I'd make a trip back to try both. Keep up the good work!

We stopped here on a whim and are very glad we did! A little brewery with a wide variety of choices. The food was awesome!! The sandwiches were excellent, fresh and delicious. Definitely a destination to have on ones itinerary.

Located in an old building on Alpine it is easy to drive past it. It took me a couple times to remember where it was without having to pull out a handy dandy map app. I have sat in a few different spots at the establishment - at the bar, at an indoor table and at an outdoor table. I would say my favorite is probably sitting outside. I always enjoy sitting outside though so it wasn't hard to twist my arm with that option for seating. I have not tried any food here yet so I can only speak on the beer. They have great drinkable beer. Nothing has quite blown me out of the water yet, but I really do enjoy quite a few of the beers on their list. They have some mainstays as well as rotate out a few to keep things different. The service here is very friendly and attentive. Always a great customer experience every time I have gone. Keep up the friendly smiles and knowledgeable feedback!

Greyline has become my go-to brewery when I want to meet up with a buddy for a drink or two. Given the brewing lineage of the team at Greyline, I am always supremely confident that whatever beers I order will be of high quality, which is nice when I want my friends to continue to trust my craft beer judgment. The tap room is small, but I've always been able to find a table. The vibe is nice; modern and understated without feeling sparse. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable but have never come across as pretentious. They do have a food menu, but due to the time and manner of my visits, I have only had the chips and salsa but they were very tasty and a nice accompaniment to the brewskis. In summary, I've always been able to find a parking spot, a table, and have enjoyed every beer I've had at Greyline. If you want top notch beer without the crowds, I can't commend Greyline enough.

I was I n town from Denver, where we have more than 150 breweries there locally. I wasn't sure what to expect here but the food, beer, atmosphere and staff were all excellent. I had the brisket slider, Mac and cheese with bacon and the chips. All awesome. Great stuff - I'll be back!

Friendly, attentive service + amazing dip bread x 4 good beers = positive first visit! Located in an old store front on alpine, it's easy to drive by and miss it (like we did). There is an outside patio with wood tables and the inside has tables, the bar, and the small kitchen area. They had a full beer menu with several different kinds of tastes, and some small sharing plates for customers. The decor is what my husband and I call "the brewery starter pack"- it's plain grey color on the wall, no art, with lots of wood for the tables and the bar, and iron piping for the exposed shelves. Not bad, just simple. Make sure you park in the adjacent parking lot and not on the street. We had to move our car because we were told they like to ticket people.

I stopped in to Greyline Brewing after a long walk through Riverside Park. The place was pretty full on a Wednesday around 7. There are a handful of tables outside, which were all full. We grabbed a couple beers from the bar and got a seat at a large communal table. The atmosphere is pretty blah, it's polished concrete floors, exposed steel beams, etc., and very loud! Not a lot of character. The beers were decent. I had the oatmeal stout and my boyfriend had the brown ale. Both were okay. The oatmeal stout wasn't as smooth as I had hoped, but the brown was pretty good. I like that they have three sizes/prices to choose from: 4.5oz, 11oz and 16oz. The prices are great, with no (16oz) beer over $5.50. I did see on the sign that these were "grand opening prices" so I'm not sure if they will increase or not. Later on we tried small pours of the black ale and the English pale - I thought the black ale was pretty bad, but the English pale was decent. Greyline has a small menu that includes sliders, bruschetta, nachos, chips & salsa and some dips. The "kitchen" is a little alcove in the main bar area, which seems a little weird. We ordered the Cuban carnitas nachos (shredded pork, Swiss, pickles, and Dijon sour cream) and they were awesome! They were a unique take on a Cuban with the pickles and Swiss, which I thought was great. I loved them. Overall, I think Greyline is doing pretty well for their first couple weeks open. Hopefully they will continue to fine tune their beers and I will try to be back!

Definitely an above average brewery! It had almost a dive bar/local feel which was cool. Very intimate brewery! It had a really great variety of beer and wasn't trying to be too fancy or too out there. Had good old fashioned beers that hit the spot! The service was great and the prices were very fair. We will be going back for sure! The black Lager was a very interesting flavor and would recommend!

They do literally everything right. From staff to arrangement of tables to ambience to of course THE BEER! I trust you will not find a more attention to details establishment

I've always stopped here when I'm in the area. The beer is great. Service has always been up to standards and the ambiance is small but great for a beer or two.

Greyline Brewing is not just a brewery. They actually have great food, and several non-alcoholic options if you aren't into beer. The menu is a good size, and rotates seasonally. I am a big fan of thier sandwiches. I would recommend going with the half size, as even my husband struggles to finish the full size. I also appreciate thier beer. They also have a good variety of beer that is reasonably priced.

Came here at the recommendation of a bartender at another brewery. We were discussing which places to go, as there are so many breweries and not enough time to visit them all. One of the best things we did was follow that bartenders advice, and include this as a stop. We chose to split a flight, and the beer was solid. Nothing really too exciting, but everything was good. The Humblebee and Rambler were solid. The one that really stood out to me was the Prime, which is described as a 'Merican Ale. This was a light beer with flavor, in my mind, the onlt word to describe it is crushable. We also split a meat and cheese board here and were impressed. I really like that they offered a full and half sized board. The spreadable cheese wasn't outstanding, more cheese whiz than beer cheese, but everything else was good. One of the cheeses was pretty darn spicy, but still had good flavor. This brewery is a little out of the way from downtown, but definitely worth the trip. If you're looking for the newest, craziest flavors, maybe not the place for you. If you are looking for some good beer, worth a trip.

Quickly becoming my favorite brewery in GR. Beers always rock solid, to be expected given the brewer has a great reputation. Small friendly brewery. Super employees. Give it a shot.

Love breweries and I love beer. This place stacks up well with what's available in Beer City, USA. Good selection that rotates regularly. Each brew is something you could compare to other breweries, but also unique in its own way. The IPA I had today was distinctly floral and yet not overly sweet (I hate it when an ipa looses the bitterness it's known for). My wife dug their American wheat as well. Love the Mac (add a protein and it's killer!). Love the tacos, wife loves the sliders. Prices are reasonable and location is great. If it had a better parking situation I'd give it 5 Stars. Place is good, but small which makes it not even worth me trying to go on a Friday or Saturday night.

Doing our own self guided tour of Grand Rapids brewery's and this was our first stop. Really enjoyed the tastes we had. The wheat was super simple and easy. The meads were really tasty! Thought the staff was welcoming. They also had a nice patio!

The beer is good all together. There is nothing I don't like as far as the beer goes. I HIGHLY suggest the Shakey Knees. It is very good. But I'm pretty sure I just paid $6.50 for microwaved bread...
