In addition to craft beer, Grand Rapids is getting recognized for another awesome beverage: coffee.

Thrillist, a food and travel website, has named Madcap Coffee in downtown Grand Rapids one of The 21 Best Coffee Roasters in the Country!

Thrillist polled their editors nationwide and some of the biggest names in coffee in the world looking for not just quality drinks, but also "those special touches that weave a humble purveyor of warm beverages into the fabric of a community's everyday life."

Grand Rapids' Madcap Coffee made the list! Thrillist says:

It can be harder to appreciate specialty coffee than craft beer, because there's seldom an opportunity to build a nuanced palate by tasting an array of different coffees at once. Here's where Madcap's Tasting Series comes to the rescue, offering budding coffee nerds the chance to tour through eight different Colombian farms or taste expressions of every major coffee varietal from bourbon to typica. It isn't the only company offering this type of coffee buffet, but most other third-party subscription services offer a grab-bag of mediocre roasters. Madcap's expertise means that every coffee in the set is truly special and our panel of industry experts agreed, voting the roaster the fifth best in the country."
