The rich history of Metro Detroit's brewing industry from the 1830s to the 1990s.

Brewed in Detroit offers a comprehensive history of the brewing industry across the Detroit metropolitan area--including Ann Arbor, Mt. Clemens, Pontiac, Windsor, Wyandotte, and Ypsilanti--from its early beginnings in the 1830s to the resurgence sparked by microbreweries and brewpubs in the 1990s. Author Peter H. Blum, a historian and seasoned veteran of the brewing trade, meticulously chronicles the rise and fall of local breweries, highlighting the individuals and families behind them. From the iconic Stroh Brewery Company and the Union brewery of the 1860s to modern staples like Atwater Brewing, Blum leaves no stone unturned. His detailed account includes records of every known Detroit-area brewery through the late twentieth century, brand names of the beers and ales marketed in the region, production history, and a glossary of brewing terms--making this book an essential resource for beer enthusiasts and local historians alike.
