Tapistry Brewery in Bridgman

The newest brewery in our state is Tapistry in Bridgman which opened last month in what was formerly a resale clothing shop. Co-owned by two Michigan guys Joe and Greg, they seem to have brought the right expertise to the table and currently have an unbelievable selection of beers on tap.  The 4,000 square foot facility has a viewing window where you can watch brewmaster, Nathan, do his stuff. They do take advantage of the popular local butcher shop down the street to offer some yummy snacks to go with their pints. We loved what we tasted and ended up bringing home a growler of their Summer Haze. The beer garden has potential!

The Berkley Front

The Berkley Beer Front is a new discovery for us! How is it that visiting friends from DC tell us about this secret little beer garden?  What fun. They have an incredible selection of beers from around the world and their prices in such a modest building are quite reasonable. Local beers from Bells, Arcadia, New Holland, Founders, Shorts and Arbor Brewing proudly on tap. ;}  Don't forget to check out the jukebox. They have bands, music, dj's upstairs at night which makes it a pretty popular place. We hear they serve Gluhwein when the snows come. We will return.
