About Steele Street Brewing

Located in the small town of Ionia, MI, Steele Street Brewing opened in January of 2016. Owner and brewer Pete Sanford converted his building from an old dry-cleaner's.

S.S.B. services people from all over Michigan and the mid-west. "We get beer enthusiasts, home-brewers, pizza lovers, campers, and people just passing through," said Sanford. "The goal has always been to create a comfortable
