Archival Brewing

We take pride in utilizing local resources to craft both our beverages and menu in sustainable ways, and we are intentionally cultivating community in every aspect.

Archival’s beginnings are anchored strongly in West Michigan as the owner, Levi, grew up in Spring Lake and his wife, Callee, in Grand Rapids. Both are passionate about all things beer, food, and travel.

Fusing this with a love for community, he and Callee began searching for a perfect place to call Archival “home.” With roots in West Michigan, they felt Plainfield Township, specifically the old Grand Isle Golf Course, was the ideal location to create a welcoming space close to the heart of Grand Rapids while also providing ample room to share a meal and a drink surrounded by natural beauty. Archival is a culmination of years of culinary exploration and a thirst for going back to brewing origins.

Archival opens its doors to anyone and everyone, in hopes that you’ll find connection over a shared meal and drink, engaging with loved ones and building community.

Our approach is simple: recreating historic and forgotten styles of beer from around the world tapping into ancient brewing processes, ingredients, and recipes. We want to stay true to the styles of brews our ancestors would have consumed, whether that be beer, cider, or mead, to preserve what history created.
