Stroh closed this 132-year-old brewery in November 1997.

This is the Northern Plains factory. Great Lakes Brewing News reports that they're brewing 45 different beers in about 800 different packages. Twenty-seven of those beers carry the Stroh label, including Augsburger, Red River Valley, Old Milwaukee, Schlitz, and Stroh's. Twelve of the 18 contract products are Pete's beers.

My Opinion Of The Beers That I've Tried:
14.0 points overall

• Red River Valley Select Red Lager
  Style 16 - American Lager
  • 14 points - Beer #8-506, Great American Beer Festival XIII, Denver CO, October 21, 1994
    Amber. Thick head. Some malt aroma...faint. Smooth, good body. Good caramel flavors. The name's too long, though.
