Rockford Brewing Company (New restaurant giveaway)
Korean sticky wings
When Rockford Brewing Company opened in 2011, Owners Seth Rivard and Jeff Sheehan had always planned on food being part of the equation. At that time, there was insufficient space for a kitchen, so that project had to wait.

As time passed, things changed. The tenants who had occupied the front 1/2 of the building with RBC did not renew their lease, and now there was space for a kitchen. Building a kitchen where one has not existed before, however, is not a quick thing, so more time passed. RBC would have to jump through several hoops over a period of months to get their kitchen up and running.

During this long process, good fortune intervened. Local chef Ryan Bolhuis, alumnus of the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan and veteran of several restaurants, had become available to fill the new position of executive chef. Rockford Brewing Company now had its kitchen, a talented chef, good beer and after weeks of collaboration, a solid menu.

Just a couple of short weeks ago, Rockford Brewing Company quietly started offering dinner service between 4-9pm (Until 10 P.M. Friday and Saturday, kitchen is closed on Sunday). Β Eventually, RBC is looking to expand it’s kitchen hours to cover lunch and Sundays, and is looking to add kitchen staff to accomplish this. Rockford Brewing Co. Employment. Β After a series of soft opening events, RBC is now ready to introduce itself to the Greater Grand Rapids food community at large by giving away several gift cards over the next 5 days via EatGR. Our good friend Rafflecopter is ready to help…..well, sort of!
Give the new Rockford Brewing Company a try!
In the meantime, you can enter this contest for a chance to win (1 of 10) $20 gift cards from RBC. Β The contest will be run over a 5 day period (ending 10/23/16 at 11:59 pm) with 2 winners being drawn daily AND there will be a chance to win on Instagram as well.
