This brewing company was founded in 1850 in Detroit, Michigan, brewing a Bohemian-style pilsener beer. In 1865, they adopted a lion emblem and named themselves the Lion's Head Brewery.

A. Miller Brewing Company
B. Blatz Brewing Company
C. Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company
D. Stroh Brewery Company
Answer
D. Stroh Brewery Company
Stroh Brewery Company was established by Bernhard Stroh, who emigrated to the United States from Germany in 1849. As his company grew, he named it Lion's Head Brewery in 1865. It became the Stroh Brewery Company in 1902. Over time, the company acquired beer brands such as Goebel and Schlitz, as well as brewing rights for many other labels. The company faltered in the 1990s, and in 1999, sold its most of its assets to Pabst Brewing Company, which produces Stroh's beer today.
