From a long line of bakers and brewers, we were looking for a way to put our stamp on a family tradition. Distilled spirits was the answer. Then, the real work began. Recipes were developed to get the target taste profile from each spirit. Bottles were ordered, labels designed, knuckles were scraped. The dream became reality. We now produce an expanding line of spirits, beer, and wine.

Both the drink and food menus contain delicious Dutch influences, from Stroopwafel and Banket liqueurs to split pea soup and a Dutch Boy burger. Cocktail offerings range from traditional to trendy, and monthly specials incorporate seasonal flavors and themes. Bottled spirits are available for sale on site.

Located in northeast GR, just three minutes from LMCU Ballpark – home to the West Michigan Whitecaps baseball team and annual Winter Beer Festival.

Cheers!
