Our Brewery

Four Keys Brewing is a 2 barrel nano, taproom brewery located within Starling Lounge. Our beers are brewed on-site and served from the bar we share with the coffee shop.

We took delivery of our brewing equipment in mid-May of 2021. In the thick of COVID-19, setbacks had become a regular occurrence for all stages of this endeavor and the national supply chain crisis had stalled our build-out. As of mid-February 2022, the supply-issues had resolved and our build-out was nearing completion. We received our final approval from governing entities in May 2022 and began serving beer on July 1, 2022.

We are so grateful for the abundance of support from our local community, including our founding members that played a key role in getting us over the finish line. Cheers!

Our Community

Downtown Blissfield

The Village of Blissfield is nestled along US-223 in southeast Michigan. We love our active downtown and the cooperative spirit of our fellow businesses! Beyond the options for shopping, eating, and professional services, Downtown Blissfield has a rich tapestry of events throughout the year, including holiday festivals, family movie nights, community art exhibits, car shows, and other special events. For more information and upcoming events, check out the Downtown Blissfield Facebook page.

 

The Boss (Social District)

Downtown Blissfield announced a new social district in August 2023. The Blissfield Outdoor Sip & Stroll (BOSS) allows patrons to purchase an adult beverage in plastic cup from Four Keys Brewing or BTown Bar & Grill and enjoy outdoors and in select shops downtown. With a parklet directly in front of Four Keys Brewing and a new greenspace just down the block, there is plenty of outdoor seating for patrons during the fair weather months. We are thrilled with this partnership and appreciate Downtown Blissfield’s time and investment to make this a reality. Help us keep this social district by respecting any posted rules and signage. Beverages must be in a BOSS to-go cup and disposed of in outside waste bins, and must be kept within the district boundaries. Additional signage and maps are stationed in the downtown area.
