Livonia's next microbrewery has moved one more step closer to pouring its first pint.

The city council reviewed the site plan for the proposed yet-unnamed brewery planned for the empty property at 27719 Seven Mile, located between Inkster and Harrison.

The plan, launched by Livonia resident Andrew Schumacher and Midland resident Nathan Pastuzyn, would take the building and turn it into a brewery with an outdoor beer garden. The renderings for the building show a vastly different-looking structure than what currently sits on the site.

"It will be an onsite tap room with a family-friendly atmosphere and in general have a place for people to come and enjoy themselves as kind of a not-work, not-home atmosphere," Schumacher said. "It's a place to talk, it's a place to catch up with family and community."

The brewery would not serve food and would encourage customers to bring in dishes from elsewhere. Schumacher hopes to create a partnership with the nearby Taormina's Pizza that could lead to pizza getting delivered to the brewery. It's also a possibility food trucks could serve food in the parking lot as well.

"That north parking lot could potentially have food trucks there," Schumacher said.

The project was first reviewed by the planning commission earlier this spring, which recommended approval for the brewery, before it made its way to city council.

If approved, the brewery would join others in the city of Livonia. SuperNatural Brewing and Spirits opened in 2017 on Plymouth Road, and Schoolcraft College brews beer on campus for its beermaking program. Liberty Street Brewing Company, based in Plymouth, has a facility in Livonia as well.

Councilman Brandon Kritzman, an architect, said he wanted to see if there was a way to improve some of the building materials. He said he typically does not like to see cinder block as a main material, as is proposed for the brewery, but said it could work in this instance.

"There's only a few times in my time on council where I've said where I think that's OK, and I think this actually may be one of those," he said.

He said there's some inconsistencies with the plan, including issues surrounding the dumpster enclosure being of a different material.

The site plan will be taken up by the council at its July 8 regular meeting, giving the owners some time to address issues brought up regarding the building.

Councilman Brian Meakin said he supported the project and hope it spurs other development in that area, which has fallen into some hard times over the decades.

"This is a wonderful development for this location," Meakin said. "It's been a vacant building for a long time and Seven Mile has had some struggles for the last 20 years. So we appreciate your investment on Seven Mile. Hopefully it'll attract other businesses to move onto Seven Mile."
