Drewry's
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drewrys ("Drewry's") Extra Dry was a brand of beer, Canadian in origin, but brewed for most of its history in South Bend, Indiana. The brand originated in 1877.
Besides its Canadian connection (sometimes sporting a picture of a Mountie on cans or labels), the main Drewrys claims to fame were that the beer was "less filling – more satisfying!", years before the popularity of light beers, and also (with the advent of lighter aluminum cans) that a can of Drewrys would actually float in water, rather than sinking to the bottom of a bucket or tub.
Other themes employed on Drewrys cans included sports scenes, and also zodiac graphics and trivia.
After the closing of the South Bend brewery, the brand was owned by the G. Heileman Brewing Company, and later by the Pittsburgh Brewing Company.
