Brew Detroit is a contract brewery operating in Detroit, Michigan. The company also produces small-batch craft beers available only through its tasting room.[1]
History
A small group of Michigan investors formed Brew Detroit in September 2012.[2] Their goal was to create a contract brewing company to provide larger capacity production services to the multitude of emerging Michigan beer brands. The venture started with $8 million of private capital which allowed the company to build a state-of-the-art facility in Detroit's historic Corktown district.[3]
As part of its commitment to investing in Detroit, the venture donated 2% of its equity ownership to the New Common School Foundation which raises scholarship funds for the city's Cornerstone Schools.[3]
Brew Detroit commenced brewing and packaging operations at its Corktown facility in early 2014.[1] It later opened a tasting room and retail shop in November 2015.[4] Its initial brewing customers included four Michigan brands: Atwater Brewery, BADASS American Lager, Motor City Brewing Works, and Big Red Beverages. [4]
Stroh's was added to its brewing clientele in 2016 when it obtained approval to brew a Bohemian-style pilsner based upon Stroh's original formula.[5]
