Transient Artisan Ales

Why We Love It: This new Bridgman brewery is a cozy venue with a built-for-regulars feel. The name reflects the intent to regularly rotate offerings, not that the brewery moves around. The day’s eight-brew menu included a majority of session beers of various styles to linger over, including a salty-tart, ruby-hued beet gose (a top-fermented beer from Goslar, Germany, brewed with at least 50% of its grain being malted wheat) called Purple Grain. Plus, for designated drivers, Transient Artisan offers homemade soda.
