ABOUT THIS DISTILLERY

Where Brewing Meets Distilling Under One Roof

Bier Distillery & Brewery sits on West River Drive in Comstock Park, just north of Grand Rapids, combining craft brewing with small-batch distilling under one roof. Founded by the Bier family, this dual-purpose operation represents Michigan’s growing craft spirits scene while maintaining deep roots in beer production. The facility houses both brewing equipment and copper stills, allowing them to produce whiskey, vodka, and gin alongside their beer lineup. You’ll find them in a modern industrial space that feels more working production facility than polished tasting room, which fits their focus on the craft itself over flashy presentation. The operation reflects the practical approach of founders who wanted to expand beyond brewing into distilling without losing the hands-on, small-batch mentality that defines Michigan craft producers.

WHAT SETS THEM APART

Beer and Spirits From the Same Stills

The combination of brewery and distillery operations under one roof creates interesting crossover opportunities that most facilities don’t offer. They can experiment with beer-to-whiskey processes and share ingredients between production lines, giving them flexibility in product development that single-focus operations lack. The location in Comstock Park puts them in Michigan’s craft beverage corridor, part of the state’s push to establish itself as a serious spirits-producing region beyond just beer and wine.

THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE

Industrial Workspace Not Tourist Attraction

The experience centers around seeing both brewing and distilling operations in action, with equipment for both processes visible during visits. You can taste both fresh beer and aged spirits in the same session, which creates an interesting comparison of how similar base ingredients develop differently through various production methods. The atmosphere leans industrial and working rather than polished tourist destination, so you’re getting a real look at production rather than a sanitized show.

IS IT WORTH VISITING

Perfect for Craft Process Enthusiasts

This works well for people interested in the technical side of both brewing and distilling, especially if you want to understand how the processes relate to each other. If you’re touring Michigan’s craft beverage scene, it offers something different from single-focus distilleries. However, if you’re looking for extensive aged whiskey selections or elaborate tasting experiences, you might find the offerings more limited than dedicated distilleries with longer operational histories.

⚠️ VISITING TIPS

Call ahead to confirm they’re open for tastings and tours, as production schedules can affect availability. The location on West River Drive is straightforward to find with GPS, and parking shouldn’t be an issue. Ask about the relationship between their brewing and distilling processes if you’re interested in the technical aspects – that’s where their story gets most interesting. Don’t expect an extensive aged whiskey portfolio given the relatively recent addition of distilling to their operations.
