Any spot that is exposed to light and is a Sand/Clay/Loam layer, will generally grow grass on it.

Also, caved in sand will sometimes transplant grass deep into teh heart of your fortress...

You see, booze is a parasite. It lives off dwarves and compels them to dig into the ground so as to create massive defences to protect it's self. It really shouldn't be called dwarf fortress, Booze fortress would make much more sense.

if there is light, soil and moisture there will be grass.

Check if the grass tile is flagged as outside or not
