City Brewery
Notes
Opened: 1999
Annual Production: 5,000,000 bbl
Contributors: Bryan Hubert, Ryan Weber, Scott Baldwin
Formerly the G.Heileman brewery, City Brewery bought the plant after Heileman closed due to Stroh's sale to Miller and Pabst in 1999. City Brewery closed shortly after opening, due to some financial problems of its own, but it looks like they're back in business again.
When they're not brewing beer, City manufactures almost all the Smirnoff Ice and Triple Black in the country, along with Mike's Hard Lemonade.
