Strohs always gave me, um, “digestive difficulties”, which made me sad, because as a native Detroiter I felt honor-bound to prefer local products.
When I was in college, Strohs came out with “Strohs Signature”, a premium brand in very cool bottles. For the few years it was readily available, that was my beer . I loved me my Signature.
Then, not long after I graduated, they abandoned the cool bottle, and Signature lost some of its appeal.
Also while I was in college, we’d skip class on warm spring days and venture downtown for a brewery tour, ending up in the Brewhaus. After which, we’d pick up a few six packs and hang out on Belle Isle watching the freighters. It’s a wonder we ever graduated. . .
And ice cream? Oh, yeah – there’ no better taste combination than beer poured over chocolate ice cream!
