Stroh purchased G.Heileman in February 1996 for about $275,000,000. The combined company had about ten percent of the US beer market, comparable to third-place Coors. Along with its own product lines such as Augsburger and Northern Plains, Stroh brewed beer under contract for these beer marketing companies:
- August Brewery, Detroit MI
- Boston Beer Company, Boston MA
- Fischer Brewing, Washington DC
- Pete's Brewing Company, Palo Alto CA
Miller and Pabst split up Stroh's assets when Stroh closed down in 1999.
