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.

16 oz can. Pours a clear cola color with an off-white head. Aroma has yeasty clove, nutty aromas, earthiness, mildly tart apple. Flavor is an interesting blend of nuttiness and earthiness with apple or pear, cloves, hinting at caramel and dark fruits. Takes a moment, but the nuttiness with the crisp palate and hint of fruit and yeastiness really works.

16 oz can. Pours a hazed straw color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is quite musty with green apple. Pale malt flavor with some apple and some light yeast flavors. As it warms, flavor starts to lean more heavily toward some nice yeast flavors, as does the aroma, and it picks up an aftertaste of honey.
