Each 4th Friday of the month, we get to sit down and chat with Grand Rapids’ darling – Shelley Irwin. Topics range from nonprofits doing good, events highlighting our great city or cause and small businesses giving back.
This week we chatted with Honor Construction, Grand Rapids Pride on their upcoming festival, Pike 51 Brewery and Hudsonville Winery.
Below is a snapshot of each business, we encourage you to connect via Twitter, Facebook or email.

Grand Rapids Pride Festival:

Pike 51/Hudsonville Winery Anniversary Party:
On June 11, we’re inviting the whole community to raise a glass – beer or wine, it doesn’t matter – to Hudsonville Winery and Pike 51 Brewery Co. in honor of each establishment’s anniversary. Our winery will be turning seven and our brewery will be turning four, and we want to be alongside the people who have helped make both a success over the past few years.
It was intentional to give the two the same anniversary date. We thought it would be appropriate for the brewery to make its formal debut on during the winery’s anniversary. We held a few soft openings beforehand, but we made sure the official Pike 51 Brewery Co. ribbon cutting and open house happened on Hudsonville Winery’s third anniversary party. Like how we planned our winery and brewery to operate together, we planned our annual celebration to be as such. Beer lovers and wine lovers shouldn’t be separated – they should enjoy their preferred beverage side by side in delicious harmony.
This year’s anniversary party will have everything that made our previous ones successful: beer, wine, food, music, friends. For our beer lovers, we’ll be releasing Heavy Soul, our imperial milk porter aged in bourbon barrels. For food lovers, we’re bringing in a pig roast food menu just for the event.
The party starts at noon and goes until we close, and admission is free! Get wild, have fun and call an Uber at the end of the night.
