History:
Detroit Born.
Some know it as Motown. To some, it’ll always be Motor City. For us, it’s where it all began.
Our history in this town goes back to 1889. Pfeiffer’s Famous Beer was a staple prop in blue-collar, Midwest leisure. If you grew up in the ‘60s in Detroit, it was probably your first beer. A city known just as much for resurrections as beginnings, Detroit is a town that teaches you how to roll with the punches, then respond with a knockout right hook. We’re comeback kids from the “City of Reinvention”, and we’re bringing back Pfeiffer’s for a new generation.
Pfeiffer - background
1871   The Beginning
Conrad Pfeiffer immigrated from Germany to America in 1871, when he was seventeen. It was less than a decade after the end of the Civil War. Industrialization was fueling a growing economy in the North and West. There was money to be made, and the labor force immigrating from beer-drinking countries like Britain, Ireland and Germany longed for their favorite liquid pastime. It was the perfect time for beer to become America’s favorite after-hour drink. The introduction of artificial refrigeration and pasteurization allowed beermakers to brew year-round, and extended shelf life for further transport.
1889   The Brewery
Conrad Pfeiffer established C. Pfeiffer Brewing Company in 1889 and started brewing beer in 1892. He produced a Wurzburger beer, an export beer, and a traditional lager called Pfeiffer’s Famous Beer. It was a wage-friendly, Old World beer for the steadfast workforce building a 20th Century America. Business was good, and Conrad Pfeiffer bought a Detroit city block with a rail line running down the middle of it, ready to usher his beer to the city beyond. On the site, he built what could only be described as a blue collar castle. In it he brewed and bottled “the flavor millions favor,” as one can touted.
1900s   Surviving Prohibition
In the early 1900s the original brewhouse was replaced with a new brick deco building, which still stands today. In 1910, brewing became one of the leading manufacturing industries in America. The Temperance movement’s crusade culminated in industry-shaking events. The sale or manufacturing of intoxicants was banned in Michigan after January 1, 1917, and Pfeiffer was forced to stop production. America was a dry nation on January 1, 1920. A little more than a decade later, the “great experiment” soured into a great regret. By 1934, Prohibition fell off the wagon. Pfeiffer Brewing Company was resurrected under a new team of investors. They were at the top of the keg pile, as one of the leading producers of beer in Detroit alongside Schmidt’s and Stroh’s.
1940s    Pfeiffer Goes to War
Pfeiffer shipped out to war in the 1940s, supplying our Joe’s in Europe with mascot Johnny Fifer’s taste of home. The olive drab cans read, “Pfeiffer's famous beer follows you around the world in this special overseas can.” The “old time favorite” remained the nostalgic beer of choice when vets returned back to city life after 1945. Mascot Johnny Fifer (Designed by the Walt Disney Studios) continued to be a centerpiece of Pfeiffer’s cans as well.
1950s    The Great Shakedown
Life for breweries was dog eat dog in 1947. Across the next decade, 185 breweries closed or were bought by larger companies in what was called “The Great Shakedown”. Pfeiffer Brewing Company more than survived the tough period, buying Kling Brewery of Flint and Jacob Schmidt Brewing Company. Pfeiffer was the best-selling brand of beer in Michigan during the 1950s.
