Geocache Description:

-- Congrats to srstuart & LiteOnCache on the FTF!! --



The Geocaching History Quest is a series of caches that are at or near important historical sites that can include the places, people, or events that are part of local, regional, national, or international history.  These caches should be a good lesson of the rich history and better understanding for anyone that visits the area that the caches bring you to.  This history surrounds us almost everywhere we go and hopefully will not be forgotten through our stories and caches that are part of each and every one of us.
As always, with ANY geocache hunt, PERSONAL SAFETY is of the utmost
importance and BE AWARE of your surroundings at all times.

This cache is dedicated to the Stroh's Brewery that used to be on the site nearby.


1971 look at the brewery from the freeway

There was a Parody Song dedicated to this site as well.
It's one of my favorite parodies...and this is a
history-rich location that deserved a Cache.

In 1985, Detroit radio station WRIF's "JJ & The Morning Crew"
(Jim Johnson & George Baier)
released a parody song (of Don Henley's "Boys of Summer") called
"After the Brewery on Gratiot is Gone," when the Stroh Brewery Company
demolished its original Detroit brewery.

Nobody At The Park, Nobody at the bar
I wanna have a cold one, i'm driving in my car
Empty wallet, empty tank, i go downtown alone
I'm driving by the Stroh House.....Oh No! No One's Home, but...

-chorus-
I can See you, your Brown Glass shining in the Sun
ya got your caps popped off....Bohemian, Baby!
I Can Tell You My Thirst For you will still be strong
After the Brewery on Gratiot Is Gone...

I Never Will Forget Your Beer...I taste it in my dreams!
I remember how you fire-brewed it....i remember how you made ice-cream
I dont understand what made you want to close.
from one beer lover to another...i'm gonna Miss You Strohs!


-chorus-
I can See you, your Brown Glass shining in the Sun
ya got your caps popped off....Foaming for everyone...
I Can Tell You My Thirst For you will still be strong
After the Brewery on Gratiot Is Gone...

(Talking): Alex, go into the kitchen and get me another beer
Alex, that better be your -water- you're drinking!

Out On the Road Today I saw a MooseHead Sticker on a Cadillac...
A Little voice inside my head said to "try a Six-Pack, go and Buy a Six Pack!"
I thought unto my Brewery, I should Stay loyal
those days are gone forever, like burger tots and Uniroyal...


-chorus-
I can See you, your Brown Can shining in the Sun
ya got your tabs pulled back....Foaming for everyone...

I Can Tell You My Thirst For you will still be strong
After the Brewery on Gratiot Is Gone...


-chorus (again) -
I can See you, your Long Neck shining in the Sun
Ya got your caps popped off....Bohemian Baby!

I Can Tell You My Thirst For you will still be strong
After the Brewery on Gratiot Is Gone...

(Crying)
