three different types of beer
Jessica S.

This is a cool little place. I tried the marionberry and cherry sours and a pilsner. I don't normally love sours but they were good. The green bar chairs were uncomfortable. There was more than one kind of chair though so you might get lucky at a different table. Friendly staff. I would stop in again.

Simple location and impressive brews. Limited seating, but it was also raining and coviding today, but we still had a table right away at 2:45pm on a Friday afternoon. We were across the street Monday, but Transient waa closed - it was worth circling back on our trip home. The Mind to Devour IPA was the best IPA on our Michigan beer tour. The barrels in the seating room off to the side are not for show, although they look awesome. We sat next to some barrels that were fillws in March 2018. We tried three stouts and had to sip them! Delish and strong! An excellent stop for our bewr tour! No food (or water durong Covid- bring your own). They have extensive carryout options and you can prder in advance of arrival if you just want to make a quick stop.

On a Michiana Beer Tour, an employee at Beer Church Brewing told my group that Transient was a must, especially since DRAFT Magazine listed Transient as a Top 25 Brewery on the Rise in 2016. Hearing that factoid was all we needed to hear. We visited the small brewery later that afternoon and got five-ounce pours of the Mutual Abberation, Foeder #2, Big Rip, and a Pineapple Gose. It's a good thing we listened to our new friend from Beer Church because all of them were outstanding ales. At the conclusion of our trip, my friends and I agreed that Transient was one of the best breweries we checked out on the trip. We were all very, very impressed! Other perks: -dog-friendly -outdoor seating -6-packs for purchase

Absolutely loved my two experiences here. The beers are amazing! My last trip was on Dec 27th and the winter draft list had many stouts and BA stouts that we're right up my alley. We also ordered the All Jammed Up sour. It was amazing!! Transient is a must stop for craft beer fans and the causal beer drinker. Yes recommend getting a flight of beers...

Good vibe here!

My group of girlfriends and I were on a Michiana beer adventure, after learning that Transient was listed in Draft Magazines 25 Breweries on the Rise in 2016 specializing in wild ales we decided this was a much needed stop. We shared a flight of 5 generous pours and each beer was lovely. You know a brewery is doing something right when you can't pick a favorite from their lineup, they were all exceptional. The atmosphere is bright and airy with a large garage door that opens extending to a smaller outdoor seating area. The space is small and intimate. Dogs are allowed in the taproom which I always appreciate. The brewery is located close to Warren Dunes State Park so the vibe seemed beachy, quiet, and relaxed. It's a place I could see myself lingering for an entire afternoon. My friends and I all decided this was one of our top brewery stops out of the ten we visited over the weekend. Other observations: -They had several beers in cans & bottles for purchase -No food available in their taproom but the area had several restaurants within walking distance -You can bring your own food & snacks into the brewery -Parking was easy, lots of available street parking Already planning my return! Hopefully this summer.

Love the open garage door to the little patio. The Taproom is industrial and comfortable. No food but you can bring in outside food. There were 7 beers on tap. Only 2 IPAs. Limited choices in merchandise but lots of canned beers to go.

Beers!

One of the top tier breweries in the nation. I've had things from Modern Times, Narrow Gauge, Mikerphone, Windmill, 3rd Phase. Those are some great breweries and this one is right up there. Their barrel aged and double dry hopped IPA's are absolutely phenomenal.

False advertising. Step your game up and update your shiz.
Blake W.

Of course the beers here are amazing but advertise what's available so people aren't mislead as to what is being served. Came in to try canuckly because it was advertised on the website as being on draft and it wasn't. There weren't any BBA stouts. And then you keep bottles of it where customers can see them tell them they're not for sale. Shame shame. That's ok. There are plenty of other places to buy beer.

See all

Delicious IPAs! We tried the zero discipline 1 and flightless, both are very good. Both are citrusy and not very bitter. I recommend!
