First Brewed 1939

Clix is a brand of malt liquor made by the Grand Valley Brewing Company in 1937. It is often credited as the first malt liquor brewed in the United States[1]. At Gluek Brewing in Cold Spring, Minnesota, Alvin Gluek had a similar idea in 1942. The style is light in body, thin and sweetish in taste, and high in alcohol.[2]

Brewery owner 'Click' Koerber is the creator of the process and owner of the patent[3] that details the production of Clix malt liquor.
