Product Description
Product Description
Brewed in Detroit describes the history of the brewing industry in the Detroit metropolitan area (including Ann Arbor, Mt. Clemens, Pontiac, Windsor, Wyandotte, and Ypsilanti) from its beginning in the 1830s to the present revival by microbrewers and brewpubs. A historian and trained veteran of the brewing industry, Peter H. Blum divides Detroit brewing history into seven distinct phases: the early Anglo-Saxon ale brewers, the German brewers who arrived after 1848, the rise of brewing dynasties in the 1880s, Prohibition, the return of beer in the era after repeal in 1933, the war years, and the postwar competition. Blum also includes detailed information on the way beer is produced -- the craft of brewing and the tradition of master brewers.
Synopsis
This text tells the story of the Stroh Brewery Company, which had been a family brewery in Detroit from 1850 to 1895 and became Detroit's largest brewery by the turn of the century. It then goes on to chronicle the stories of 44 individual breweries.
