Drewrys Beer is Back: A Legacy Craft Beer Reborn

Germantown, Wis. (September 3, 2024) Drewrys Brewing Company is thrilled to announce the relaunch of the historic Drewrys beer brand with four initial offerings available in the Midwest. From the crisp notes of its Traditional Lager and its lighter lager, Lucky 88, to the smooth palate of its Easy Ale and the robust flavor of its German Bock, the company is excited to unearth secret recipes from the company archives and bring them back to life.

“Our team sought to reinvigorate the classic Drewrys brand yet remain loyal to our original roots through dedicated craftsmanship and tradition in brewing,” said Frank Manzo, president, Drewrys Brewing Company. “We are already generating a base of true fans, including those who remember drinking Drewrys in the past, and a new audience of enthusiasts who are trying it for the first time.”

Carefully Brewing Beer in Small Batches Creates Big Flavors

Brewed in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, using pure spring water and only the finest ingredients, Drewrys’ commitment to quality sets it apart. Drewrys craft beers are brewed in small batches to capture the attention to detail of a bygone era and appeal to customers seeking genuine authenticity.

“I have fond memories of my dad and uncles drinking Drewrys beer, so when I discovered Drewrys was available for sale, I bought it right away,” said Manzo. “I’m thrilled to bring this classic brand back to the modern market.”

While Drewrys is expanding its distribution network, its products are currently available in Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin in the U.S. and Manitoba and Saskatchewan, Canada. Visit the Where to Buy section of Drewrys website for details.

New Website Showcases Refreshed Brand and Pays Tribute to History
