Whatever happened to Stroh's beer?!
Answers: It was really big for a long time, then it just dropped off the face of the Earth!
The King of beers before Budweiser!
The end finally came on February 8, 1999, when word came down from Stroh headquarters that the 149 year-old brewer was selling its labels to the Pabst Brewing Company and Miller Brewing Company.
After its disolution in 2000, some Stroh brands were discontinued, while others were purchased by other breweries. The Pabst Brewing Company acquired the most Stroh/Heilman brands. They currently produce Colt 45 malt liquor, Lone Star, Schaefer, Schlitz, Schmidt's, Old Milwaukee, Old Style, Stroh's, and St. Ides. The Miller Brewing Company got Mickey's Malt Liquor and Henry Weinhard's. Most other Stroh/Heileman brands disappeared after 2000

Not distributed in MS --I checked
I was wondering the same thing the other day. I was told once that it was still selling in the North but I dont know that to be true. I live in MS and havent seen any in 15-20 years. I liked it.
Thanks for the info viniferal crusher.
That`s what happens in a free economy, the better product survives and the others go away.
Americas Premium Fire Brewed Beer is still sold in Michigan and Ohio for sure. I miss Stroh's a great deal but as soon as the company sold out and turned its back on the city of Detroit I had to stop drinking it. I have the urge to buy some occasionally but my conscience gets the better of me.
Wow! Haven't realized I missed Stroh's for at least twenty years --- too bad about their demise.
