Book Overview
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.
