Madison Heights is getting what's being dubbed its first microbrewery.

Co-owners and home-brewing devotees Gordie Davignon and Gary Marshall plan to open their Cadillac Straits Brewing Co. in April at 27651 John R Road.

Their retail operation next door, however, is set to open this week. They want the Supply House at Cadillac Straits to be a one-stop ingredients and equipment shop for home brewers.

"We've been frustrated there aren't any local home supply stores in the immediate area," Davignon said.

He first saw the model — home-brewing supply store with attached microbrewery — out in Portland, he said.

Davignon and Marshall, the head brewer, plan to serve a wide variety of beers — traditional and experimental — and also make wine, mead, cider, kombucha (fermented tea) and soda in-house.

Those looking to dine will find small plates and flatbread pizzas on the menu.

The pair expects to seat about 60. The brewery and taproom is 2,400 square feet and the retail side is 1,200 square feet. They've invested about $400,000 so far.
