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.

Can. Deep opaque brown body, medium light brown head. Rich nose of chocolate, coffee, and raisin. Lots of dense malts; toffee and chocolate-covered nuts. I wrote nuts. Plummy and rich. Lots and lots of chewy toffee as the beer warms. Yum and delicious.

Draft at the brewpub, Grand Rapids. Medium translucent red body, thin clumping off-white head. Light toasty, cerealy, fruity nose. The body starts thin and tart with sharp grain and tannic fruitskin notes. Some nuttiness, some grape. Gets a bit chewier and breadier with warmth. Lots of house character. Worth spending some time with to get better acquainted.
