Description
Visit the world’s first LEED certified microbrewery housed in a refurbished historic funeral home in the East Hills neighborhood. Live the Bon Vivant with neighbors, brewers, and monks alike enjoying rustic farmhouse inspired beers alongside European inspired cooking from our scratch-kitchen.
We are excited to share our passion for beer, food and sustainability with you. Much of the inspiration behind Vivant comes from the small breweries that dot the countryside in Southern Belgium and Northern France. Often, those breweries are true beer artisans who are also an integral part of their community. They experiment with unique yeasts and local ingredients, always with an artistic eye to their creations. Sourcing ingredients locally makes their beer pair exceptionally well with a meal of locally sourced produce, meats, and cheeses. Brewery Vivant promotes living the good life by brewing farmhouse inspired beer, serving a from-scratch menu, and building a sustainable community one beer at a time.

This brewer’s beers usually lean towards Belgian influences, but this one is “outside the box” for them. Straightforward IPA but more like a pale ale in hoppiness and bitterness. I’m a DIPA fan but this beer is a refreshing change from my usual DIPA’s. Really tastes light for 8.0% ABV. Is this the first session DIPA?

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Tangerine skin and juice aromas on the nose with some Belgian esters noticeable. Sweet tangerine with bubblegum, and clove underneath. Finish leans sweet. Not bad.
