Fox Deluxe was the brand of Peter Fox Brewing which started in 1933 in the old Hoffman Bros. facility on West Monroe in Chicago. Peter Fox later took over old breweries in Grand Rapids, MI (1940-51) and Marion, IN (1941-49) and used them to brew Fox Deluxe, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-29592829824834705442012-03-06T04:25:24.379-08:002012-03-06T04:25:24.379-08:00The Fox Deluxe story is a pretty complicated one- ...The Fox Deluxe story is a pretty complicated one- in the early '40's, the Michigan company was purchased by the Peter Fox Brewing Co. of Chicago, and it appears the brand was brewed in both MI and IL- so at the time of the film it would have been a local Chicago beer. <br /><br />Later, in the 50's, it merged with yet another "Fox" brewery- Foxhead of Waukesha, WI.

In almost every shot we could see advertising material for Jenning's Brewery.

He attended Sox games regularly. At some point in his tenure as main fan, they switched from whatever they had been serving in the ballpark to Fox Deluxe. He was not pleased with that beer and how much they charged for it. I'm sure he hated what they charged for everything at Pete Dunlophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456380762400522665noreply@blogger.com
