WARREN, Mich. (WXYZ) - A local family facing economic hardship was forced to make a dramatic change by taking a leap of faith.
For more than 30 years, the Kuhnhenn's ran a hardware store in Warren, but it wasn't long ago that economic challenges forced the family to come up with an innovative way to make money.
That's when Eric Kuhnhenn decided to turn his lifelong dream of owning a brewery into a reality.
Now a decade later, it turns out that the Kuhnhenn's are really good at making beer. They even won the Gold medal at the World Beer Cup in 2010.
They also tell Action News that Tuesday through Saturday's their brewery is packed.
