Vivant Brewery & Spirits

On the Grid : Brewery Vivant

"This neighborhood brewery is housed in a former funeral home, and features Belgian style beers and hearty food. Enjoy one of their mainstay beers, or get adventurous with a seasonal. The cheekily named Big Red Coq is a favorite of ours, and the duck nachos are worth the nap you'll need afterward." - Conduit

The 26 Best Things Made in Michigan’s Cities | Eater

"There are no shortage of breweries in Grand Rapids—it didn’t earn the title of “Beer City, USA” for nothing. But Brewery Vivant lays claim to being the world’s very first LEED-certified microbrewery and gets major ambiance points for setting up shop in a refurbished historic funeral home (talk about being Instagrammable). But, most importantly, they’re making noteworthy, rustic farmhouse-inspired beers using unique yeasts and locally sourced ingredients. They even make all their French and Belgian-inspired food in-house with a focus on local and sustainable products that are often harvested straight from their own garden. This isn’t your typical pub fare; expect treats like escargot, roasted bone marrow, housemade sausage, and duck confit nachos." - Vox Creative
