USA, MI: Pigeon Hill brewery opens in Muskegon

Pigeon Hill brewery in Muskegon opened its doors to the public on Friday, March 21, according to Michigan Business Review.

"It is completely surreal," said Michael Brower, one of the brewery's three owners. "We've been working for this moment for quite a while. It's a dream come true."

Pigeon Hill's tap list will feature the Walter Blonde Ale, the 1762 Russian Imperial Stout, the Besto Bohemian Pilsner, the LMFAO (Let Me Fetch An Oatmeal) Stout, the Shifting Sands IPA and the Petite Soleil Saison. The brewery will also offer non-alcoholic pink lemonade and glass bottle Faygo.

The brewery's notable features include its interior design, which incorporates tables made with wood salvaged from the bottom of Muskegon Lake from the Lumber Era, a pool table built by Brunswick that was reportedly played on by silent film star and Bluffton vacationer Buster Keaton and light fixtures recycled from S.D. Warren (the Sappi paper mill), Continental Motors Co. and Brunswick Bowling.

Pigeon Hill is the second microbrewery to open in Muskegon. Unruly Brewing Co., located two blocks down the road, began serving beer late last year.
