The Pfeiffer brewery on the 3700 block of Beaufait is owned by the city of Detroit, according to the Wayne County Register of Deeds. There is a faded CB Richard Ellis sign advertising the real estate with a non-working number and the firm has no listing for the building. It stopped operating in 1966 and is unlikely to be useable for anything other than storage. It has a lovely Art Deco corner, but the rest of the building is unremarkable. There is an office across the street that must have been part of the complex that bears the Pfieffer name stamped in concrete. J&G Pallets and Trucking occupies the building, which is flanked by thousands of wood pallets.
The brewery is located roughly a mile from where the old Stroh brewery stood as a crow flies. Here's a stylized shot of the brewery corner. Don't read the description as it contains inaccuracies.
