Grunst Brothers Party Store — Local services in Big Rapids

This store is a microbrew drinker's best friend with the ability to purchase any beer by the bottle and build your own six pack at a reasonable price. They have all of the big names in Michigan Mirco Breweries; Bell's, New Holland, Shorts, Founders, just to name a few. Also they have the international such as Sapporo. For the liquor side of business, when I went in to find my favorite American Brandy, which only a liquor store would carry you won't find it at Meijer nor Walmart, I learned that they do not carrier it regularly but they could order a bottle for me and it was cheaper than across town at Bulldogs (crap place terrible service NEVER GO THERE!!!!). Overall the place looks pretty beat down but they have the best service and selection. (only place I've seen that sells sake ;)) I give it a four...

I must thank the staff at Grunst Brothers, then personally thank Mackenzie later, now that I have learned her name. I am almost too embarrassed to admit I left my credit card there yesterday when I happily encountered my son (the one I hadn't seen in a day). Shortly after I returned home, I received a text from Jared, via Lucas, that it was awaiting my retrieval. Again, thank you, Mackenzie, and thank you to the young men who cheerfully returned it today. There truly are wonderful young people who are hard-working & honest citizens. I am so grateful some of them work here....

Gunst is a Big Rapids staple because of their massive selection of drinks. Unfortunately, they have absolutely atrocious quality control and much of their beer is months past the use date. Last week I purchased NEIPAs in the fridge that, after getting home, I noticed were three months past their use date. I went back, and there were Sierra Nevada IPAs in their fridge from 2019. It's astounding...and it's the last time I spend money...
