Complement your beer with some tasty eats. Scout out these well-loved menu items at regional breweries, guaranteed to surpass your expectations of traditional bar food.

You may not be able to drink the beer, but you can enjoy handmade gluten free options at New Holland Brewing. While the art of craft beer is celebrated here, New Holland chefs have harnessed an art all their own and infused the menu with thoughtful options. For gluten-free eaters craving fresh pie, choose from seven pizzas, all of which can be made with a gluten-free thin crust. I opted for a brewer’s favorite, the Bacon and Whiskey BBQ pizza.

It’s still (technically) summer, but the fall months are definitely upon us. Why don't we celebrate rather than lament the change of seasons with a trip to a nearby winery — and a swap of your cold beer with a tasty glass of red or white? You don't have to travel far to sample the many varieties our region offers. 

Everyone needs a little variety meals or where’s the fun in eating? Well now is your chance to kick boredom to the curb and check out Restaurant Week in Grand Rapids Aug. 13-24. More than 60 participating restaurants will feature menus even bigger, better and exclusively for this week. Here is a glimpse at what some restaurants are offering.
