Star Brewing Co. Fine Ale Porcelain Corner Sign, Boston, MA. Ca. 1900

STAR BREWING IN BOSTON ILLUMINATED THEIR “S”!

BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschDecember 2, 2024

I like this particular generic “star” Brewing Company’s sign for its simplicity. The simple illumination look generic and that is a bit surprising since their were many Star Breweries in the pre-prohibition era. So what did the Star brand do to increase their awareness? They simply added a bold illumination look to their beer in…

White Rock Beer Serving Tray, Akron, OH Brewing Co. Circa 1910

SOMETIMES ADVERTISING CAN BE SIMPLISTIC.

BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschDecember 1, 2024

When I think about simplistic styles of advertising, this particular tray from the Akron Brewing Company in Akron, Ohio comes to mind. How much more simplistic can a brewery advertising campaign be? You name your beer “White Rock” and you add an image of a white rock in the background! The advertising campaign was done…

Electric Coffee Company General Store Bin, Portland, OR. Ca. 1910

WHAT’S WITH THE ELECTRIC COFFEE COMPANIES NAMESAKE?

Antique Advertising Collectibles, CoffeeBy Randy HuetschNovember 24, 2024

I have often wondered why would a coffee company in Portland, OR name itself The Electric Coffee Company?   Was their something about the company which made it unique compared to other coffee manufacturers and roasters of that era?   Did the plant have an early electricity generated advantage over other coffee competitors, or was the name…

KLAUSMANN BREWING CO. PRINTERS LITHOGRAPH FOUND! Circa 1900

BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschNovember 17, 2024

I love this piece. To the reader, I am sure many are wondering why this print is backwards? Most probably think the photo image of this Minstrel Beer printers block lithograph was simply reversed before it was added to this story. However, that is not the case. This and thousands of others like this from…

Continental Tobacco Sign, Cotterill, Fenner & Co. Dayton, OH. Circa 1900

CONTINENTAL TOBACCO SYMBOLIZED THE CONTINENTAL ARMY!

TobaccianaBy Randy HuetschNovember 2, 2024

I love the image of this tin advertising sign from the Cotterill, Fenner, and Company Tobacco Company in Dayton, OH, circa 1900. The image incorporates the Revolutionary war continental army solider in Trenton, N.J. when they were being led by George Washington. The Continental cut plug tobacco was used in pipes, cigars and cigarettes, and…

GEO. RINGLER BREWERY WAS ONCE THE PRIDE OF NEW YORK CITY!

BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschOctober 20, 2024

Here’s a fabulous looking pre-prohibition era metal serving tray from the George Ringler Brewery which was located between 90th and 92nd Street and 2nd – 3rd Avenue in Manhattan. This tray advertises their Real German and Extra Pilsener styles of brews. The tray also denotes strength and purity on it, trying to differentiate themselves from…

Manhattan Consumers Brewery Serving Tray, New York City, N.Y. Circa 1905

MANHATTAN CONSUMERS BREWERY WAS A NYC BREWING LEGACY SITE!

BrewerianaBy Randy HuetschOctober 6, 2024

I love this beautiful pre-prohibition era tin serving tray from the long defunct Manhattan Consumer Brewing Company which was based in New York City prior to prohibition. This tray features an image of a native american indian along with an english settler, an interesting logo for a brewery nontheless. I can only assume the Indian…

Remember The Maine Serving Tray, Highland Brewing Co. Highland, IL. Ca. 1898

PATRIOTISM AT THE HIGHLAND, ILLINOIS BREWING COMPANY!

Antique Advertising CollectiblesBy Randy HuetschSeptember 22, 2024

This particular metal serving tray featuring the slogan “Remember the Maine” was a common battle cry at the end of the 1898 Spanish-American War whereby the U.S. Maine ship was destroyed by the Spanish flotilla.  Many lives were lost when this ship was sunk, and as a result, the Americans used this as their rationale…

The Bartholomay Brewing Company was originally founded in 1852 as Will and Bartholomay. In 1857, Philip Bartholomay bought out his partner and renamed the company Bartholomay Brewing Company. Bartholomay grew to be a very substantial brewery, with production of about 180,000 barrels in 1888. In 1889, it absorbed two other local breweries (Rochester Brewing and Gennesee Brewing) as well as two Rochester malting house to become the Bartholomay Brewing conglomerate. The company's symbol was a rather unusual one, a wheel with two outstretched wings. Like many Rochester Brewers, Bartholomay had agents that bottled and sold its products in other states, including W.W. Walker & Company of Hagerstown, Maryland, John S. Low of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and William Albrecht of Boston, Massachusetts. Bartholomay operated successfully until Prohibition but, although both Rochester and Genesee reopened after Repeal, Batholomay did not. Some of Bartholomay's brands, such as Apollo Beer, were later used by the American Brewing Co. of Rochester.
