DETROIT, May 3, 2018 — Stroh Brewery Co. is releasing a new beer called “Perseverance” that is brewed in the style of a Detroit Session IPA.  It’s the first product launch for the company since reintroducing the iconic Stroh’s Bohemian-Style Pilsner in 2016. Perseverance IPA will be sold exclusively in Michigan, and a symbolic first pour will be held at 6 p.m. on May 9 at Brew Detroit. This free event is open to all who wish to celebrate the tradition of Stroh’s beer brewed in Detroit (must be 21+).

“The return to Detroit began with Bohemian two years ago, and Perseverance is the next vital step in our homecoming,” said Andy Gurjian, Stroh’s Brand Manager. “Perseverance IPA represents a shift from the reintroduction of historical beers to new formulations that will define the next great generation of Stroh’s brewing. Our renewed spirit of innovation is a direct reflection of the drive, resurgence and grit that is alive and well in Detroit.”

Stroh’s Perseverance IPA is a flavorful, hoppy session beer that satisfies IPA-lover’s needs, all with a moderate, 4.5% ABV.  Perseverance IPA is brewed exclusively at Brew Detroit under direct supervision of Stroh’s Master Brewer, Greg Deuhs.

Detroit artist Kobie Solomon worked in collaboration with Stroh’s to design the brew’s label. “The Chimera” is an original illustration by Kobie, showcased as one of the largest graffiti wall murals in the state of Michigan at nearly 9,000-square feet.

Perseverance IPA has begun shipping to independent beverage retailers throughout Michigan. It will be available on draft and in 12 oz. bottles at select pubs beginning next week.
