[…]That was a sentiment echoed by Josh Sullivan co-owner of Meridians. “Recently, it’s a slow wheel-turn to German styles like pilsners and kolsches, and Belgian styles.” He sees a trend back to more traditional beers in general, like the classic ambers, stouts and porters, which he’s happy about.
Meridians in is located in a historic building in downtown Fairfield. Sullivan opened Meridians in a historic building in downtown Fairfield seven years ago with co-owner David Gulak, then opened their accompanying farm-to-table restaurant down the street, Meridians Bar + Kitchen, in 2019.
