Indiana Breweries History: Drewrys Brewery
The Drewrys Brewery of South Bend, IN, promoted its Canadian heritage
(was formaly a Canadian Beer stared in 1877) with the use of a Mountie on its
label. This brand had a very strong presence in Indiana, Michigan and Chicago,
though the slogan, "Less Filling, More Satisfying" sure sounds like the tagline
used by that low-calorie beer from Milwaukee. Just after WWII, Drewrys issued
cans that told about your zodiac sign. Another series from Drewrys featured sports
scenes like bowling, fishing, hunting, golf and baseball.
When the Drewry's brewery closed the brands went to G. Heileman and then
to Pittsburg Brewing Company.
