In this installment I have a few beers from two small breweries that have big reputations.
First up, Transient Artisan Ales.
Transient is tucked away in Bridgman, Michigan, a small town in the southwest corner of the state, a mere hour and a half drive from Chicago.
The brewery began around 2013 and, recently, have hit it big with a few of their beers. They are now starting to seep their way into a few Chicagoland beer stores (FINALLY!) with their double IPA, The Juice is Loose, leading the way. Like most, that was the first one that caught my attention some time ago too but this is a brewery that focuses on wild ales and farmhouse brews.
