by Tom Smillie | Adjunct Lager, Pilsner Glass, Pint Glass, Stroh's Brewery, United States, Wisconsin |
Despite having a long history with German roots, this beer is just like every other standard Macro adjunct lager in the market. Formerly located in Detroit, Michigan it become one of American’s well known lager beers. While the “brewing tradition”...
