🍺 A Piece of Grand Rapids History: The Anheuser-Busch Icehouse

Long before modern refrigeration, keeping b**r cold was a challenge. In 1905, Anheuser-Busch built this historic icehouse in Grand Rapids as part of a network of refrigerated warehouses used to help keep b**r cold during long-distance rail shipments.

Before mechanical refrigeration became commonplace, natural ice harvested during the winter was an essential part of keeping things cool.

The building’s original purpose changed dramatically on May 1, 1918, when Michigan became a dry state under statewide Prohibition—nearly two years before national Prohibition began. The law prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, bringing major changes to Michigan’s brewing industry.

Today, this remarkable building still stands as a reminder of Grand Rapids’ rich brewing heritage. It was renovated in 2008 and became the home of the Grand Rapids Community Foundation. It is also reported to be one of only two surviving Anheuser-Busch icehouses in the United States.

From B**r City’s brewing heyday to the Prohibition era and beyond, this historic landmark has a story worth remembering!

Very cool that guitar maestro Derek Trucks, and his very talented wife, Susan Tedeschi stopped by Kusterer Brauhaus this past Monday. Derek says he likes German b**rs. Well Kusterer is the place to stop at if you like German b**rs when in Grand Rapids.

If you don't know Tedeschi Trucks Band look them up, they are an awesome band. Eric Clapton says Derek is limitless and Santana said he's the best guitar player he ever performed with. Prost!
