Elk Street Brewery & Tap Room

About

Husband & wife, Ron & Anne , along with sons, Ronnie & Zachary, started Elk Street Brewery Ltd. & Tap Room based on a long brewing dream (pun intended). Way back in 1985, when craft brewing or craft beer wasn't all the rage, while the couple were dating & attending college at WMU, Anne found the perfect gift for Ron. It was a home beer brewing kit purchased from a small home brewing supply shop in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Like everything Ron does, he thoroughly researched & gathered information, often consulting the knowledgeable & helpful shop owner, on the ins & outs of successful home brewing. Ron was hooked! From that time on, he talked of one day opening his own microbrewery...and here we are. When we found 3 South Elk, we knew we had a great location, right on the corner, in a bustling county seat town. A turn of the century beauty adorned with tons of character...an original tin ceiling, oak floors, & lots of exposed brick...spoke to us & we listened. The integrity was there to house a beautiful tap room, albeit all of it need of refurbishing, but we saw the promise of a very cool space that would accommodate a successful & popular micro-brewery, tap room and an additional expanded space that serves excellent Craft Beer & Craft Food in one of the best restaurants in the Sandusky, Mi area, drawing people from Port Huron, Lexington, Port Sanilac, Harbor Beach and the entire Thumb region.
