What is Goebel Brewing Company?
The '''Goebel Brewing Company''' was a [[brewing]] company in [[Detroit, Michigan]]. It was started by August Goebel. It later expanded to produce Goebel Private Stock 22 in Muskegon, Michigan and [[Oakland, California]]. From 1950 to 1959, it outsold all other [[beer]]s in Michigan. The company sponsored the [[Detroit Lions]] football team, the [[Detroit Tigers]] baseball team, and the [[Detroit Red Wings]] hockey team. In 1961, their head brewmaster died. They hired a new brewmaster from [[Germany]] and sales fell. In 1964, they sold out to another Detroit [[brewery]], The Stroh Brewing Company. After 150 years, the Goebel Brewing Company was out of business. Stroh produced a cheap beer under the Goebel Beer name for a few years before selling out themselves.
