Tapistry

I had high hopes for Tapistry, but the visit was a let down after all the hype I've heard.

I don't drink beer, so I realize I'm not the primary audience. However, the only other beverages available were coffee, soda or water.

I went with water, which came in a plastic cup. Classy.

The tables have a metal piece inlaid, that seemingly have no other reason for being there than to catch crumbs that don't get cleaned out.

The beer cheese, which was also served in plastic (a weird theme?), was mostly flavorless with far too much pita for the amount of cheese.

My boyfriend said of his flight, two of the beers were good. He said the rest were watery and lack luster.

Overall, Tapistry was not impressive. There is potential for this small brewery, just serious need for proper execution.

Another new brewpub in SW MI?  Fabulous!  My fiance's family is from the area, and I love how every time we go to visit, there's something new in the winery/brewery arena to check out!

The beer here is great, grouped and priced per tier based on ABV.  We didn't try any of the food, so I can't comment there. Service was great too, we never had empty beers for too long.

My one complaint is the decor, I felt like I was in a plain cafeteria, there is literally nothing on the walls.  There needs to be a little more character to the place!  Also, some carpet on the ceilings would help, it was way too loud for there only being about 2 dozen people in the place...

With a little work, this place definitely has potential.

Really good beers, and lots of beer choices.  And, the snack plates, with local meats and cheeses are excellent.  But, not much character or style in the taproom and uneven service.  Bare walls, bland music and odd tables and chairs.  They're just starting, so my fingers are crossed for them.  But, competition (Greenbush, Round Barn, Livery) in this area is really good, so they need to have an A game.
