Altes Original Detroit Lager returns to Michigan
Altes Original Detroit Lager is making a comeback for Opening Day.
It’s one of the oldest Michigan-brewed beers, dating all the way back to 1910, before vanishing sometime in the 1990’s. The brew was once an official beer and sponsor of the Detroit Tigers and Detroit Lions.
