Taproom Tidbits

Brighten Brewing Company


Pearl, the Belgian Wit-style brew, returns to the taproom in October. Cousin Eddie is sneaking his way back, too! That's right, Brighten's Christmas Ale will be fresh on tap by the end of the month!


It's a great time to swing in and grab a bite to eat. Brighten has elevated their food specials, offering a new one every week. New sandwiches such as the Copley Cheesesteak, the Bacon Date Aioli Turkey Sandwich and the Mushroom & Swiss Melt are making mouths water. If it's a new week, there's a new special. Keep up to date on Brighten socials to see what's cooking next! LEARN MORE
