Artifact Overview
Stroh Brewery Company was the biggest and best known of Detroit's many breweries. Founded by German immigrant Bernhard Stroh in 1850, it was the third-largest brewer in the United States by the mid-1980s. That's when Alex the Dog, a beer-fetching Golden Retriever-Irish Setter mix, starred in a popular string of Stroh's television commercials.
