About

About Grand River Brewery

Grand River Brewery was established in Jackson, Michigan, evolving from the earlier Cherry Creek Winery into a full-scale craft beverage operation. Today it holds the distinction of being Michigan's first establishment to combine a brewery, winery, and distillery under one roof, operating out of a spacious venue just one mile south of I-94 on West Louis Glick Highway.

At the heart of the operation is a state-of-the-art, steam-heated 15-barrel brewhouse where the brewing team uses only Michigan-grown hops and choice Midwestern malted barley to craft an ever-changing lineup of beers — from the sessionable Lake Rat Cream Ale to barrel-aged imperial stouts and fruited sour series like the Ramble Jam. A second location in Clawson serves the Detroit metro area, extending the brand's reach across the state.

The culinary program, led by Chef Jenna Dyc, takes a grain-to-glass and farm-to-table approach. House-baked brioche buns, Michigan-sourced beef, and scratch-made sauces define the menu, which spans pub classics like fish & chips and Reuben sandwiches to more inventive options like the Chicken Shawarma Crustwrap and housemade poutine with Small Town Brown Ale gravy. Weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 2pm.
