Welcome to Brewery Vivant!  We are excited to share our passion of beer with you.  We get inspiration from the small farmhouse breweries that dot the countryside in Southern Belgium and Northern France.  We take notes from their artistic approach to brewing and explore our interpretations of traditional styles using a mix of old world and new world ingredients and methods.  

We operate a cozy neighborhood pub on-site at our brewery.  If you are able to make the journey to visit us, our goal is to create an exciting beer experience for you.  No matter what your level of beer expertise; from “full blown beer geek”, to “I usually drink wine”, we are confident we can share a beer that will intrigue you.  If you can't make the trip to visit us, ask for our beer in your favorite store.   

Our passion does not just stop at beer.  We are also very passionate about food.  One of our favorite things to do is to pair our beer with food to uplift the enjoyment of both.  Many people are unfamiliar with the complexities of beer and are surprised to learn that in many cases, beer is a better choice than wine to pair with food.   

We are also passionate about our community.  Through our focus on sustainability, our goal is to have a positive impact on our local community, be great stewards of our environment, create a successful business that employs local people, and help revive a neighborhood.

Stellas in Traverse City

Tuesday, January 10 thru Sunday, January 15Michigan Beer Dinners Featuring Short’s Brewing Company and Brewery VivantThe diversity of excellent craft beer inspires us each year to create daily menu items and annual events to honor them. This year, when planning our annual Winter Beer Dinner, we wondered what inspired these brewers (Joe Short from Short’s Brewing Company and Jason Spaulding from Brewery Vivant) to create their favorite beers. We called on two friends whose styles are way different to explore this. Now, for most of a week you can join us (and them on some nights) for four courses each paired with either a Short's or Brewery Vivant beer and the beer that inspired its creation. Each evening beginning at 5pm, in addition to our regular dinner menu-reservations are recommended. Cost is $35 per guest for our 4-course tasting menu, $10 per guest for paired beer flight
