Stroh's' products were manufactured and marketed by Dean Foods, which had acquired the brand in 2007.
[1] Stroh's Ice Cream is a regional brand distributed mainly in the Midwestern United States.
With the closing of saloons across the nation, ice cream parlors increased in popularity as a new place for the average man to frequent.
Julius Stroh, the head of Stroh's Brewery at the time, decided to convert the beer-brewing facilities of its factory in Detroit to producing non-alcoholic products such as near beer (beer with its alcohol extracted), birch beer, soft drinks, malt products, and ice.
