According to Crain's Grand Rapids, while no one owned the Muskegon Brewing name, Leetsma spoke with the family of the company's founders and got their blessing.

Muskegon Brewing is partnering with Pigeon Hill Brewing, which is brewing a range of styles, including lager, blonde ale, west coast IPA, hazy IPA, fruit beer, wheat beer, and more under the Muskegon Brewing Co. brand.
