Remeber when….
back on February 8, 1985, Stroh’s, born and brewed in the D, announced it was shutting down it’s brewery after 135 years?
The plant, at Gratiot and the Chrysler Freeway, topped out at 1 million square feet and had a 7-million barrel capacity. Stroh’s, Stroh Light, Goebel and Signature were made at the 71-year-old building. The company was the third-largest beer maker in the U.S. at the time.

This is where my Grandpa worked to put food on the table, and Father to put himself through college.
