Hey SHP folks - we're at Tapistry. Not Epic....

We're working your way down the Great Lake coast with only a couple more stops before we call it a day. Tapistry Brewing is a nice little place in Bridgeman, MI. This place comes highly recommended and so far it doesn't disappoint. The sampler started with the Mr Orange Belgian wit. Very light and refreshing. Not unlike the cherry wit at Arclight, but orange flavor instead of cherry of course. Next was their IPA with coconut. Wow. It's just as it sounds. The gal brought us a sample of the IPA without the coconut for comparison. As IPAs go, this one isn't one of the better ones we've had on things trip, but the addition of coconut is really interesting. The fruity flavor of the hops combined with some coconut flavor creates a sort of piña colada flavor. Very different. Te next brew is the 100 Watt Amp Kicker DIPA. At 115 IBU and 10.5% ABV this one was a palette challenger! Huge, floral notes...like a strong Myrcenary, but very good. All that ABV, though, gotta take it easy. We've got a couple more stops and a few more miles before we call it a day! Last was the Ruckus DIPA.
