The Mitten State Partners with Stroh's for Throwback Line of Apparel

The partnership began when the owners of The Mitten State, Scott Zubrickas and Will Bransdorfer, came upon a six-pack of Stroh's in the refrigerator of their warehouse. The pair bonded over fond childhood memories of their fathers drinking Stroh's and decided the quintessential logo was ripe for a re-boot in the form of an apparel line tailored towards today's dad.

"Stroh's was really a staple for many of our fathers and grandfathers," said Scott Zubrickas, co-owner of The Mitten State. "It's what they choose to drink, and they did so with pride because it was a premium beer that was made in Michigan. The recipe remains the same, and certainly the Stroh's brand will forever embody the spirit of determination and craftsmanship that defines Detroit. To work with a legendary brand like this is really cool for The Mitten State, certainly, and the tees turned out amazingly well."

The t-shirts feature the vintage designs tailored in high-quality, hand-crafted materials.

"We put a lot of pride into designs, fabrics, silhouettes, etc., and our customers see and feel the difference in a tangible way," said Zubrickas.

The Stroh's t-shirts are available in four different designs and can be purchased online at www.TheMittenState.com and at the company's retail store located at 1502 Wealthy Street SE in Grand Rapids.

The Mitten State will host a number of contests and giveaway opportunities throughout Father's Day weekend. To find out more, visit www.Facebook.com/TheMittenState.  

Now in its sixth year of business, The Mitten State was founded by three young entrepreneurs who were inspired by the state's natural beauty, culture, and communities. Their idea grew to communicate the nostalgic feelings about growing up in Michigan and being a proud Michigander.

Stroh's is one of Michigan's oldest brands having begun operations in Detroit in 1850. The company is currently owned by Pabst Brewing Company.
