It was named for a local landowner, Confederate Captain Augustus H. Drewry, who owned the property. At Richmond, Virginia, location of the fall line at the head of navigation, the generally west-to-east course of the James River turns almost due south for a distance of about before turning eastward again towards the Chesapeake Bay. At this sharp bend, Drewry's Bluff on the west side of the James River rose above the water, commanding a view of several miles' distance downstream and making it a logical site for defensive fortifications.

Drewry's Beer
Drewrys Brewing Company is an American brewery located in McHenry, Illinois founded in 1877. Besides its Canadian connection (sometimes sporting a picture of a Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Mountie on cans or labels), the main Drewrys claims to fame were that the beer was "more flavor; less filling; more fun!", years before the popularity of light beers, and also (with the advent of lighter aluminum cans) that a can of Drewrys would float in water, rather than sinking to the bottom of a bucket or tub. Other themes employed on Drewrys cans included sports scenes, and also zodiac graphics and trivia. The South Bend-based brewery was merged with Associated Brew Co. in 1963, making the Associated/Drewry's plants one of the largest breweries in the U.S. The plant was sold to G. Heileman Brewing Company of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, La Crosse, Wisconsin, in 1972. Heileman eventually chose to close the plant. The last cases of beer left the South Bend plant in November 1972. The Muessel- ...
