Report: Stroh's Beer To Be Brewed In Detroit Once Again

DETROIT (CBS Detroit) -- One of Detroit's most iconic beverages is making its way back to the Motor City.

Stroh's Bohemian-Style Pilsner will once again be brewed in Detroit after a 31-year absence, according to a report from Crain's Detroit Business.

Brew Detroit in Corktown on Abbott St. near Trumbull was given label approval on Wednesday by the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, though it was not confirmed by Brew Detroit CEO Jerry Kocak.

"Jerry Kocak, CEO of Brew Detroit, declined to comment on the reintroduction of brewing Stroh's in Detroit.

It's unclear when Stroh's Detroit-brewed beer would be available for purchase. The label reads "Proudly Made in Detroit, Michigan." The "European-style pilsner brewed in the heart of Detroit..." will be 5.5 percent alcohol by volume."

The Detroit classic was last brewed in the city in 1985 after beginning production in 1850.

Brew Detroit also brews beers for Michigan brands such as Atwater Brewery, Badass American Lager, Motor City Brewing Works and Big Red Beverages.
