| Bdawg says: What a great find in the small SW Michigan town of Bridgman, Michigan. Fantastically great beer that they brew on the premises. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I sat down to try a sampler pack (Five 4 oz tastes of beer). I liked it so much, I tried another sampler pack. Plus the bartender threw in one of his fav's for free. That makes 11 four oz. beers. I had my wife along who only took a short sip of each beer and volunteered to drive home...yeah! |

****UPDATE 7/20/14*****
July 20th was my wife and my 29th anniversary. So we went up to SW Michigan to do some wine and beer tasting. After a couple wineries we decided to go to one of our favorite breweries, Tapistry Brewing.
It just so happened that they were celebrating their 1st year anniversary with several barrel aged brews and a couple firkins. Yummy!
