Brewery Vivant is the realization of years of dreaming and much discussion of what a great brewery can be. What makes our brewery different from the rest is the way we approach our craft and operate our business.
The core of Brewery Vivant can be found at the crossroads of three passions:
Our love of the tradition and artistic approach of the Belgian & French styles of beers
Devotion to using local sources for ingredients and running our business according to the three pillars of sustainability; Environmental Integrity, Social Equity, and Economic Viability
Sharing the experience of how beer and food can be paired to uplift the enjoyment of both
Much of the inspiration for our beer came out of a trip to the French-speaking Belgian countryside visiting small farmhouse breweries. The beer we were most excited about comes from the southern part of Belgium, called Wallonia. This area is also the inspiration of our logo, which is modeled from that region’s flag and was created to honor the beer and people of that region. The word “vivant” translates as “to be alive”, or “to be lively” which we thought fitting to the type of brewery we strive to be. The French term “bon vivant” which translates to “the good life” is often used in reference to people who enjoy eating and drinking well…and that is what we are all about.
