Description

Brewed in Detroit describes the history of the brewing industry within the Detroit metropolitan area (including Ann Arbor, Mt. Clemens, Pontiac, Windsor, Wyandotte, and Ypsilanti) from its beginning within the 1830s to the current 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 upward thrust of brewing dynasties within the 1880s, Prohibition, the go back of beer within the era after repeal in 1933, the war years, and the postwar competition.

Each brewery’s story is told in relation to the individuals and families who began the enterprise, and chronicles their fortunes and screw ups. The book concludes with a compilation of each brewery in Detroit of which there’s a record, brand names of all beers and ales marketed in Detroit, production figures of all Detroit breweries since 1933, a word list of technical terms, and an index.
