A Brief History of Detroit Brewing

July 9, 2009

There was never any good old days
They are today, they are tomorrow

lyrics from Ultimate by Gogol Bordello

When I hear those lyrics I think of America’s brewing industry. Especially after finding this interesting article from the December 29, 1998 Detroit News. It tells the story of the how the city of Detroit gets beer, loses beer, get beer back just to lose it again. Luckily, we live in the era of great American beer. I like to think that we are only on the cusp of this revolution.

I thought I would share it with you.
