Hidden gem. We loved this place. A little off the beaten path, but just great vibes. The inside was great, but the patio was just the right vibe for a beautiful May Day. Delicious beer- I recommend the melon farmer, and friendly staff. I can see why there's a mug club- if I was a local, I'd be there all the time! read more

I have always enjoyed the variety of wonderful beer that is produced by the Trail Point Brewing Company. Why are they produced many great IPAs my favorites in the past I've been when they produce a lager or Pilsner style beer. A great atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating. Food trucks are available most days as well as a variety of interactive entertainment. read more

Stop #31 on our Hundreds of Hops self-guided US Hop Passport Tour- Trail Point had some of the most genuinely dedicated staff I've ever seen. They explained the beer that gives back. This is a fantastic concept, even tho it wasn't my favorite one. Old Fashioned Hank was such a fun twist. The space is warm & welcoming. It looked like they had tons of regulars in while we were there. Before we wrapped up, they brought a few samples of the ones they thought we'd like, based on our feedback. I found that to be very thoughtful. Great Service, Good Beer read more

Loved that this brewery allows dogs inside into the taproom-when in the area,this was a big decision maker for us to visit. Beer selection is big,with fun names for different kinds - though not for IPA fans like us,so something to have in mind. Staff are super friendly and check in on everyone on regular basis. No food served,though they do have food trucks on regular basis. Overall,a nice brewery,but wish they had an even wider selection of IPA beers on tap..! read more

Great staff and great beers. We had a large group and sat in the side room area with the dart board. Kids got the pizza from the truck and loved it. I wish this place existed when I was a GVSU student back in the early 2000's. read more

Nice casual place... good beer selection. Kids had the IPAs and I had the amber ale. Offers a different food truck daily which is nice. And you can bring your dog! read more

If I could give 0 I would. Brought my paper id along with my old voided id. Refused to serve me.

Service and friendly, they are always walking around checking on you. There is an option for outside in the quiet patio, enjoy the fire on cooler nights, inside offers a cool vibe with music that adds to atmosphere. Food trucks comes daily offering a wide variety of food. All food trucks are amazing, quick service and delicious food. It is definitely the spot to be! Owners and brewers are friendly and make awesome beers and seltzers! read more

Great beers, lights were better than the darks. Sat outside on their beautiful deck & when a bug landed in my beer a waitress overheard and she came over and got me a new one 5-star service - thank you read more

Trail point has fantastic beers! Located in Allendale it is a short drive from downtown but well worth it. It had a patio that's awesome year round with fire pits in the fall and igloos in the winter/spring, and regular seating in the summer. The patio is dog friendly. Service is great. Staff seem to enjoy having doggos visit. read more

I have an ongoing list in my head of smaller, off-the-beaten path breweries that I want to visit that aren't the Big Five (which is a thing I totally just made up and for me includes Founders, Perrin, Brewery Vivant, Mitten, and Harmony). Trail Point has been on that list for awhile, so when my boyfriend and I were attending a wedding nearby, we stopped in for a bit beforehand. Trail Point Brewing is located in Allendale, which as locals know is not the most happening place. It's home to Grand Valley University, but I always joke that it's in the middle of a corn field. Trail Point is worth the drive, though - and it could be made an easy stop on the way to the lakeshore. There is a nice patio area with plenty of seating, and really unique wood tables inside. The bar has a comfortable, outdoorsy feel that is different from the typical polished concrete / Edison bulb / reclaimed wood bar type brewery we have seen thousands of times. As first-timers, we ordered a flight - each of us picked 3 to try. Our favorites were the Perk Ya Later and the Toasted Brunette. I also ordered a lemonade to create my own shandy with the Carpe Squeeze'em, which was amazing. There's no kitchen at Trail Point but they have some snacks for purchase as well as a rotating schedule of food trucks throughout the week during evening hours. They have a fun selection of board and card games to play, and I noticed signs for a ton of fun, special events at the brewery including bath bomb making, trivia, book club, and live music. The guys pouring at the bar were super friendly and helpful. read more

Stopped in last Sunday, my wife and I each had a pint and split a flight. I enjoyed my pint of classy chaises. Mellon farmer and Dr. Peelgood were also verry good. We both Ioved the coffee cream ale and Mexican lager. My wife liked her Henry Lee and vanilla von doom. We did not try the food truck, but think it's great they bring in different food trucks and live music. Service was great and plenty of outdoor seating. Definitely worth checking out! read more

If 2020 has taught me anything its the value of an outdoor seating area. Trail Point has one of the best. Their bier garden is spacious and manages to feel secluded even though its next to Lake Mi Dr. Their fire-pit and heaters do a good job of warding off the chill. Added bonus, their beer is awesome. Trail point has a wide variety of beers as well as cider. Service has always been friendly and prompt. While they don't have a kitchen per say, they allow you to bring in outside food and host a food truck most evenings. read more

Love this place! I got a nice glass of Louie's Lager and my buddy had a nice tasteful porter. We came during trivia night. We thought the trivia was too hard. The place was great though! I'll have to come back and try one of the revolving food trucks that come every day. read more

The service here SUCKS but the beer is really good. It was a pretty busy place for what I expected, but it seems like a lot of locals/mug clubbers hang out here! My favorite beer was LOVE IPA. read more

Our hometown brewery. Can't say enough good things about this place. The staff is AWESOME!! Like so awesome! My husband loves the beer. I don't drink beer and in the last few years they really up their hard seltzer game! The food trucks are always good. You will not regret a stop here for a few drinks. Huzzah! read more

If you're looking for a brewery with a variety this is the place for you. Watching staff walk arou d with trays of multi-colored amber, orange, brown, and black beers reminds me just how much they have to offer. I became a regular quick and would recommend to anyone who's looking for good vibes and relaxation. They don't offer food but have great partnerships with local food trucks and you can order any delivery you want to the restaurant. read more

I loved learning about the name of the business and how it came about. I encourage you to check the place out so you can learn the same! Aside from that there are many other reasons why to check out Trail Point. -The staff was super friendly and helpful! I felt right at home as soon as I arrived. -It is a great addition to Allendale -I loved the little details in the decor that fit along with the theme I was here on a Saturday afternoon but I would be curious to experience a Friday or Saturday night to see if the ambiance changes. Even though it isn't close to where I live, I will definitely stop by again! Cheers! read more

We came out for their Tuesday night trivia and had a great time. We brought in food to eat, but they also had Slows BBQ there in case you didn't plan accordingly. There's also lots of takeout options nearby. Personally, I like this model for breweries. They have a surprising amount of beers; each one I've tried has been good. Great atmosphere and story behind the name. The service was very friendly and prompt on a night where the place was busy. They also have a ton of games to play if you come to hang for a while. We live in GR but will definitely venture back to try out the patio this summer -- very cool spot! read more

Great beer--really enjoyed all 11 we tried, amazing patio and space, awesome service from Brooke. Don't miss this one!! read more

Nice staff! Good beer and even though they do not serve food, they bring in food trucks or you can order in. Great patio space (as is necessary during COVID), and did I mention nice staff? Felt welcomed. read more

Great atmosphere, staff and beer. Being a local this has become my family room lol. Always changing beer list showcases seasonal brews.

Great atmosphere, everyone who works there is always super friendly. Nice variety of beers. My only request is to bring back the "Alendale". Even if it is not the exact same beer, you need to have a staple beer named after your host town. read more

Stopped by to taste their Kilt Klutcher, because I happened to be wearing my kilt. The beer was delicious and the bar staff was well informed on the beers. The selection was incredible for a small town brewpub. I was also impressed with the accuracy that beer suds can be read by the soothsayer bartender with the pretty eyes. She nailed my reading with uncanny accuracy. I planned to have two beers and go, but the lively and inclusive bar conversation soon had me ordering more beers. A great way to end a vacation, thanks all. read more

Oh, man, we love this place! Note that this is a *brewing company*, not another restaurant with a row of beer taps. Beer is their passion, and if you really think you have to eat something with it besides the selection of great snack foods they offer (try the pretzels-and-cheese), well, they won't stand in your way: they have a list of phone numbers for area places which will deliver food, from pizzas to pastas, or you can call someone else or even bring your own; all they do is beer, and they do that well. Most nights Trail Point Brewing also shares its loyal customers with one of a number of high-quality food truck operators; diners can walk out of the Trail Point indoor or outdoor seating area (don't worry, they'll keep an eye on your beer) to the food truck parked outside, place their order, and return to their table, where the food truck staff will deliver it. One night it might be handmade gourmet pizzas, the next could be souvlaki or ribs, craft burgers or crepes - the schedule is on their website, and all of the seats come with plenty of table space. Entertainment goes well with craft beer; games, live music, even a book club can be found. But most of all, it's the people. The staff can answer any question about any of their beers, including very good suggestions if you have trouble choosing from the extensive list. Customers are almost always ready to talk - you'll seldom leave Trail Point without having made at least one new friend if you want to. The owners are generally moving from table to table making sure their guests are happy. In fact, it's hard to visit this place and not feel like you're more a club member than a customer. Trail Point Brewing Co. is a unique experience, well worth making time to drive out and enjoy. Your first visit won't be your last. read more

Stopped in on a winter sat. Afternoon. Was about 5 other couples in the place some service was very good. One of the couples were eating a pizza hut pizza out of the box at their table so we knew that, other than some chips on stuff, no food offering beyond some occasion food truck action. Really didn't care for any of the ipa's or the one stout they offered so we moved on to likes instead. Nothing really wrong with the place but not my wheelhouse. read more

We stopped here on our way to Grand Haven and loved it! A very diverse beer list and huge outdoor patio. What else can you ask for in a brewery? The staff was nice and the inside/outside decor was great. Definitely want to return. read more

Great beer, people, and atmosphere! There won't be any regrets about coming here. For food, check the FB page for the food truck schedule.

Cool place. Had heard good things from a group of craft beer aficionados and finally got to check it out. Service was stellar - Jordan was welcoming, helpful with suggestions and on point with checking in on our party periodically. Facility was bigger than I had expected and has an inviting decor and tons of board/table games to play. We sat outside on the patio, but learned the wifi didn't stretch that far and moved inside as we had some work tasks to complete. No food other than pretzels and snacks, but menus available for delivery orders. Most importantly: The Beer All in all, quite good, certainly for a relatively new brewery. Not quite on par with Founders, Vivant, Perrin or Greyline, but better than Elk, Tripel Root, White Flame, even New Holland. I would say comparable to Pike 51, Harmony, Mitten - and certainly worthy of repeat visits. Standout brews were Judo Hop (Double IPA with honey), CIPaPotumus IPA (brought home a growler I'm enjoying right now), Dark Trail oatmeal stout, Toasted Brunette coconut brown, and Black Rattler Black IPA. I'd say this place has a bright future and is a welcome addition to the Allendale area. Will definitely visit again. read more

Great microbrewery with decent selection of beer. They don't serve food here but usually there is a food truck where you can order some food and bring it back inside. Depending on the night, they sometimes have live music, which I really love. Service is kind of slow but I generally expect that at all breweries. read more

Love everything about this place. Amazing choice of beers. All the staff members are so kind and helpful. They have great snack and food truck options. I love the outdoor patio especially because dogs are allowed. It's an amazing place to relax with family or friends. read more

Great beer. Tried 6 different kinds and all were pretty good. Great oatmeal stout on tap. Amazing atmosphere.

Love this place! Great atmosphere, great drinks, great service. We had Katie as our server and her service alone makes me want to come back.
