Four Circles Brewery will reopen under new ownership in Brighton

Four Circles Brewery is reopening under new ownership in Brighton. Keith and Lisa Bergevin have purchased the microbrewery at 709 W. Grand River Ave. with the help of their daughter and son-in-law Molly and Kaleb Carlson. A grand reopening celebration with a limited special food menu and live music was scheduled for 12 p.m. Nov. 14. Nick and Colleen Miller announced the business was closing via social media in June. The couple said they were moving to pursue full-time job opportunities and focus on spending more time with their daughters in Florida. The microbrewery opened in 2023 and has since made a name for itself in Brighton. It was voted Livingston County's Best Brewery in a 2025 poll by The Livingston Daily. The Bergevins, of Whitmore Lake, often attended trivia nights at Four Circles Brewery. When they saw a sign in the window saying the business was set to close, they decided it was an opportunity. After running another business for 25 years, Keith was ready to venture into something new. He's behind a business known as RCScrewZ, which carries screw sets for RC cars, trucks, planes and helicopters. The couple took over ownership at the microbrewery Sept. 1. Since
