A ceremonial Slow Roll will welcome Stroh Brewery Co.’s newest Michigan-only brew, “Spirit Witbier” to Detroit on Monday, August 6.
The ride starts at 7:00 p.m. at Beacon Park, 1901 Grand River Ave. You can cap off your ride with Stroh’s at an after party at Brew Detroit, where Spirit Wit is on tap. There you’ll get a raffle ticket to be entered into a drawing for the chance to win an A-Type bike from Detroit Bikes with custom “Spirit Wit” paint work by local artist Zak Warmann of Detroit Sign Painters.
“Spirit Wit continues our tradition of celebrating the special people, places and pride of Detroit in each of our locally-brewed beers,” says Andy Gurjian, Stroh’s brand manager. “The beer’s label is inspired by The Fist monument to boxing legend Joe Louis in Detroit’s Hart Plaza, while the beer’s name reflects our dedication to highlighting the spirit of this great city we’re honored to call home.”
The new brew was unveiled this month and will be available through September 2018. It’s the third new recipe for Stroh’s since the brand returned to Detroit in 2016 and follows the launch of Perseverance IPA earlier this year.
The flavors of coriander and the balanced addition of sweet and bitter orange peel make this pale, hazy wheat beer the perfect summer brew. Spirit Wit is brewed at Brew Detroit and contains 4.2 percent ABV.
The label representing the Monument of Joe Louis that is placed in the heart of Detroit complements Stroh’s motto, “with the heart of a lion, and the strength of Detroit we are still here, still brewing.”
Spirit Wit has begun shipping to independent beverage retailers throughout Michigan. It also will be available on draft and in 12 oz. bottles at select pubs.
Remember, if you start singing 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall you’ve probably had too much.
