Grand River Brewery’s history is embedded into the community, land, and spirit of Michigan. Those who started the journey many years back were inspired by the beautiful purity of our waters and the kind open hearted people who live here. Nearly 20 years ago, Cherry Creek Winery was started on the North side of US 12 in the Irish Hills, eventually expanding out to a larger space along I 94 where a tasting room, vineyard, and restaurant were born.

10 years ago, the original owner, John, purchased a historic building in downtown Jackson, Michigan, which he worked tirelessly to renovate into Grand River Marketplace. This marketplace included a branch of Cherry Creek Winery, a deli, a brand new restaurant, a market, and the beginning of Grand River Brewery. Over the years, this space evolved into Grand River Brewery as it is today.
Our partnership with the Manchester Market, which is home to Grand River Bakery and Butchery, has elevated us in this way, as it really showed us that we are capable of making our own product better than we can buy it. At both the market and the brewery you can find impassioned individuals whose driving force is a desire to serve the community and share in the bounty of quality craft food. Arie, the head pastry chef at the Manchester Market, has perfected recipes for our brioche burger buns, pretzels, bread bowls, and much more. His training at Johnson and Wales in Providence, Rhode Island gives him a unique and expert perspective on all of our baked goods. Our partnership with the butchers at Manchester Market means we always get the highest quality meats available to us, so our guests can rest assured that their food comes from a place of love and care.

We apply the same level of care to our brewing as we do to our food. We brew using traditional methods to honor the history of beer making while putting our own special twist on things. The GRB brewers remain authentic to the brewing experience from the beginning to the end, starting with sitting around sampling beers and dreaming up recipes. The process of brewing is as social as drinking beer is, so our brewers wanted to craft beers that have their own stories to share in the circle
