  • Biography

    Michael A. Brower is a partner and co-founder of Stariha & Brower, PLC, Michigan’s premier liquor law firm. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Grand Valley State University in 2007 and graduated summa cum laude from DePaul University College of Law in 2011.

    Michael is the fifth generation of his family to engage in the “liquor trade.” Since 1900, one member of his family has, at all times, been engaged in the sale, transportation, or licensing of alcohol. Now, Michael carries on that tradition as both a “liquor lawyer” and a co-founder of Pigeon Hill Brewing Company in Muskegon, MI. By day, Michael represents retailers and manufacturers of alcohol in matters involving licensing, transfers/sales of businesses, real estate concerns, and a broad variety of business law issues. By night, Michael acts as the Director of Legal and Marketing for his small Michigan micro brewery, giving him invaluable first hand insight into the industry he is so passionate about.
