Great Lakes Pub Cruiser
If you want some exercise while visiting breweries and bars in downtown Grand Rapids and have a group of like minded friends then the Great Lakes Pub Cruiser might be what you are looking for. This large contraption is powered by the riders pedaling just like a normal bike except you are moving a 15 person cruiser. Unfortunately you aren’t allowed to drink alcohol while on the pub cruiser but it has preset routes that can take you to many bars and some craft breweries or you can customize a route to hit whatever local businesses you might want. While pedaling can be a workout especially if you are going up some of the steep hills downtown it does give you a different perspective of the city and a nice break from drinking if you are doing a brewery tour. The pub cruiser driver doesn’t leave the cruiser while you go inside the bars and breweries to drink so it isn’t really a brewery tour in the traditional sense but if you plan ahead I’m sure the breweries will provide someone to give you a tour inside as well. Also realize you have to pedal to make the cruiser move and will be on the streets with car traffic so becoming too inebriated could prove problematic making this more of a leisurely pub cruise rather then a drunken college pub crawl idea.
