Midtown on Tap: Neighbors that drink together, play together
Share
Saturday, Aug. 13, 2 - 9 p.m.
Midtown Green, 753 Fountain NE
One of the things I love about our local culture is how we have gone from being known as having a church on every corner to becoming a city with a brew pub in every neighborhood. It is a nice transition in many ways.
Another is that we are becoming a city known for its flourishing neighborhoods, complete with tremendous investment via the new developments that are adding more options to each district. But we are also a city learning to embrace its long-standing roots with the many unique venues that still continue to operate here.
One such neighborhood is Midtown, where, in addition to access to some mighty fine community-supported pubs, a farmer’s market, and a football field used for the other futball sport, too, there’s a place with plenty of sidewalks to easily access by foot the many other thriving neighborhood business districts that touch its borders.
In addition, this neighborhood, situated just east of Heritage Hill, is the site of the beautifully expansive Midtown Green - a meadow-like green space on a gently sloping hill in the city.
The Midtown Green is also the site each year for the Midtown on Tap - a community-wide celebration with food, music, games and, of course, plenty of delicious beer.
The music and entertainment this year will include local acts Positive Vibes with Heather Winia, Vivacious Miss Audacious, the Triumph Music Academy Band, Avalon Cutts-Jones Music, The Blue Pines, the David Bowie tribute act Brother Wolf & the Wolfpack from Mars, and
Cabildo.
Food vendors include B&Y Real Good Barbeque, D’arts Donuts, Riverside Hot Dogs, and Gettin’ Fresh with beverages from Brewery Vivant, Vander Mill, The Peoples Cider, and Farmhaus Cider Co.
And if you find yourself still wanting to continue your beverage tour experience into the evening, then head down to Hopstock on Calder Plaza where from 6:30 - 10:30 p.m you can enjoy plenty of West Michigan brewed beer, including a chance to visit IPA Island - Beer City Collaboration Tent Sponsored by Coldbreak Brewing.

Admission to Midtown Green is free but you can purchase food and drinks on site.
