Just joined NABA. Already in ABA, and am an officer of the BCCA. Neat site. I am looking for anything from the Camp Washington Brewery or Henry Adam Brewery from Cincinnati. Please contact me if you have any bottles or advertising items. I recently acquired a Leisy Brewing Co. advertising stein/mug. This website proved to be of assistance in ID'ng the company and details. An excellent, well written and informative site for my research. Many thanks. Cleaning out my Dad's toolbox, we found a 3" silver bottle that says "Ask for Lion Beers - Compliments of the Windisch-Muhlhauser Brewing Company Cincinnati, O." It unscrews and folds out to a corkscrew. Any idea of it's value? can you help us in locating a distributor for burkhardt beer? we heard it was being made again. its for a very dear friend who's last name is burkhardt and in dire condition. we would drive anywhere in ohio to purchase for a last toast. Hi, I have a Huebner beer bottle. If anyone interested will make great deal. Just getting rid of some stuff. Thanks! 513 600 5237 It is always good to hear the tale of other Burkharts and how they made their way though the early years of the US.

Looking to purchase Bruckmann Brewing Co. memorabilia. in response to an entry posted by jenifer middleton in regards to memorabilia from the born & co. and hoster brewing company. I have some old ads dating back to the early 1900's you may be interested in. Let me know My Grandfather Aloise Kiesner was a Brew master at leisy's in Cleveland for a number of years. i have in my possession a number of ceramic mugs with the leisy's light beer logo on them. i have half liter, one liter, and two liter sizes and they are a grey color, i also have a brownish color mug. if anyone out there can possible appraise these mugs for me, it would be much appreciated. i couldn't find these mugs anywhere online. please email me for pictures or if you have any information on these mugs. What a wonderful site; thank you very much! I collect bottle openers from breweries and it's great to be able to find information about these brewers. On a recent trip to Cleveland I found 3 openers from Ohio breweries & I have been able to learn about them here on your site. Thanks again! I have a large beer bottle, about one qt. with the following molded on the bottle: HUEBNER TOLEDO BREWERIES CO. TOLEDO OHIO,any infomation would be helpful, thanks, Bob Reading the recent issue of "All About Beer", and noticed an advertisement from The Consumers Brewing Company in Newark, Ohio. Doing some research on a piece of hometown history. Any information would help! I am the curent owner of, and I am in the process of researching the history of the G. M. Diehl Machine Works in Wabash, IN. I have found that Christian Diehl's fourth son, (and cousin of George Diehl) August, came to Wabash and was one of the three partners that incorporated the G. M Diehl Machine Works in October of 1909. The in 1910 census has Augustus lving with George and Clara Diehl in Wabash. By 1920, August no longer lives in Wabash and no record of his leaving the company exist. It wuld be stange to be a company founder and then leave with 10 years, but it's not unreasonable to expect a departure. George's death notice in April 1938 indiactes that August preceded George in death (after they started the company) but August did not die in Wabash. Do you have any information about August? It would appear that with the three older brothers in the brewing business, there was no room for a fourth, especially in light of the temperance activity taking place about 1910, when August decised to partner with his cousin. Do you have any information to corroborate the fact the Christain had an older brother named Casper, who moved to Sheboygan County Wisconsin? My records indiacte that Casper and Christain are both born in the same city in Germany.
Regards, I had a relative that was an offical at the Pilsner Brewing Company in Cleveland.
His name was Ray Crocker. We lost touch with that side of the family. Have found metal Hoster's Beer sign. It shows a musketteer looking fellow, and three different styles of beer. Am seeking information about this sign, what year used for advertising etc. Wonderful and informative site. I collected beer cans for years and reading the Burkhardt and Leisy stories brought back good memories. I still have some conetops from Burkhardt, Renner (Akron) and a bottle from Leisy. Would love to get my hands on some of the old trays. Thanks again for a wonderful site and keep adding to the library. i need information on a 1930's era neon sign of waldorf beer - value, rarity etc...waldorf was brewed in cleveland and i believe was brewed only for distribution in cans - does anyone have any info? thanks looked around your site... great! ok, i have a blobtop bottle with wire stopper that has a very ornate Hoppe & Strub embossed logo on the front. around the bottom edge says "C.& CO. LIM." bottom has "THE HOPPE & STRUB B CO TOLEDO OHIO." any idea of the value? no chips, cracks, etc. still has most the rubber around the cap.any thoughts will help! thanks! Hello, I am doing research on the history of soda pop. I was talking to my mom about this...and she says my great-grandpa Henry Gehring brewed gingerale in his brewery Henry Gehring Co. If you are willing to sell this I would love it! Thanks so much and also if anyone has any knowledge of the Henry Gehring Co. I would love it! I HAVE AN ADAM SCHANTZ ESTATE REGISTERED DAYTON OHIO, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT IS WORTH? I have a mint 6 pack of Hu-DEY Beer Bengals Collectors Series from 1989...anyone know whats is worth? Hi, I was wondering if I sent a picture to one of those who might know, if anyone could tell me if it is an authentic Burkhardt Beer clock and about the time it was manufactured?? Thanks, Pam My Grandfather, Charles Mosey, owned the Mansfield Bottling Company until the depression when he lost it. Could this be the same company that is listed in your bio? If so, any info would be appreciated. I am going to Mansfield in a few days and would love to have the address so I could see what is left. Thanks for a great site!! I am originally from Philadelphia, while putting in a new sewer pipe, a blue beer bottle from Salvatore Brewery was dug up. It says the prop. were Eick and Pulaski. I'm so excited to have found out that Louis is his first name. I had such a hard time tracking down the bottles history. This is so exciting any more info you can e-mail me would be great. Who is Pulaski? Can you give me a year this bottle was in production? Thanks so much!!!! Went scuba diving today 7-31-08, in the Saint Clair river at Marine City MI. I found a brown blob top beer bottle that is embossed and says, DIEHL DEFIANCE, OHIO. I'm guessing it's a bottle from 1870 to 1890. A nice find, I wonder how long it was on the bottom of the river. Found a Hoster bottle between the walls of a house after pulling out some insulation. Parts of the house are from the 1800's other parts are from early 1900's. This house is just across the state line into Indiana west of Fort Recovery Ohio I own a octagon shaped Schoenling Lager
Beer clock. It has the logo and a neon light. I would like to find out how old it is Dave Green Township Ohio i was down by the olentangy river in antrim park and i found a glass bottle that had in raised letters "Hoster Columbus" around a sphere with a capitol "H" i the center of the sphere. the horizontal line of the "H" was one of two eagle wings that were also on the logo Was your company ever located at 1015 Heywood Ave.Cincinnati,ohio?

I enjoyed the Leisey Brewing Company Exerpt. My dad and grandfather both worked for Leiseys. My dad was a Brewmaster till they were sold in 1959 and closed then went to P.O.C. till they closed not long after. My grandfather drove the delivery trucks.I use to see him in those big truck cabs from the car. Boy did they look big at that young age.I'm not sure how long he worked for Leiseys but it was a few years. I often enjoyed the stories they both would tell about their jobs. I was able to visit the brewery when I was a very young boy and was awed by the giant copper brewing kettles and the continuous flow of beer flowing in the trough for testing clarity and flavor. I remember it being cold in there and looking into the copper kettles window seeing the beer stiring inside as it brewed. What great memories. Its sad to see the former brewery today and what became of it. At least I have some great memorialbilia from the brewery also to cherish. I have a Hudepohl sign showing an old man smoking a corncob pipe and drinking a glass of Hudephol. Can you tell me anything about it. I have a RENNER beer sign, poured glass, oval with two dressed-up guys dancing that reads "Ask for Premium Beer RENNER YOUNGSTOWN"
Can you tell me about it?

I have found an old beer sign and would like to know more about Windisch Muhlhauser Brewing Co. Thanks! Sue Hello! As the grandson of Herbert F. Leisy (his daughter Constance is my mother) I found it very interesting to read up on the history of the Leisy brewery. I don't think there are any brewmeisters in the family anymore since my Grand-Fa Herbert passed away back in the 70's, but we're still all appreciative of a good beer. I was just browsing around the internet looking for stuff about my family when I came across this site. I have seen some people asking about the Windisch-Muhlhauser Brewery or Lion Brewery. I am a direct descendant of the people who run it and would be willing to help anyone out who is looking for information about the brewery. Also if anyone has memorabilia for sale, I would definitely be interested. I have two Belmont Brewing Co. beer mugs that look very old. Looking to find info. about them. My grandfather John T. Feighan started Standard Brewing Company in Cleveland in l903 with Stephen Creadon. The brewery was sold in l96l to Schaefer Brewing of Brooklyn New York I worked at the brewery every summer starting in high school in l95l and continued worjking thru college and continued on with Schaefer until it was sold in l964 to Schmidt's of Phiadelphia. My father became President of Standard following my Grandfather. I knew Herb Leisy, George Carter from POC, Bob Renner from Renner Brewery in Youngstown and many other in the Cleveland brewing business. I have a 9 1/2 inch tall brown beer bottle with the Star of David on the front and a "S" inside it. Near the bottom of the bottle on the back is "D.C. Co.", bottom reads "The I. Leisy Brewing Company, Cleveland USA" Is it of any value? No chips or cracks. How old would it be? Thanks. Interested in brewery labels 1930's - contact davidskop@netscape.net i have found a mint buckeke conetop can is there anyone with any info ? We found a tall brown beer bottle in our woods, it reads M.Frank & Son... Mansfield, Ohio. Is there anyone who can tell me the age or anything about this bottle..

Ballou on the side and the other side says not to be sold..The bottle is clear bluish color and does not look like beer bottle like every else's..I know it is from alliance,oh and the guy was a liquor wholesaler..the bottle looks more like a liquor bottle..Is there anyone that could tell me more about this bottle.. ive been looking for info on this mirror since i purchased it about 10 years ago. i found it after it being lost in the pile of boxes etc.decided id look it up in the beercan book and couldnt find it there then i said duhh i need to do a search for it on ebay. here we are.. 5 1/2 x 12 inches it has some spotting behind the mirror part in places.about 85% of the mirror back is good other 15% show bubbly crackily water damage im guessing. how tall are you has a measurer that goes from 5ft 2 to 6ft 2 measure at eye level it says. 2 big circles with a big 1884 with brand over the 1884 and a big ale under it a reflection of good taste in script under it matz brewing co bellaire oh under that.. the frame on the mirror is a gold painted metal. do you have any idea of the value of this mirror? is it even a know mirror?? would you like a picture for your archives?? or your site? I just bought an old home outside of waterville ohio. It was built in 1902 and designed by a local architect hired by a Huebner. I have since found out that it was owned by the owner of the Huebner Brewing Company. I am looking for any historical information about Mr. Huebner and his brewery. Also, up in the attic of the garage there is a very large metal drum. 20 ft long. It is rumored that Mr. Huebner stored his liquor there after prohibition went into effect. I also heard from a local that mob bosses from Chicago would stop and spend a day or two at the house on their way up to detroit. If fact the local told me not to dig to deep anywhere in my back yard! Anyway if anyone knows anything about him I would really like to know. I also would like to find some old Huebner beer bottles or signs to display in my guy room in the basement. I remember the Leisy Beer commercials in the media and the Trucks and Billboards.
Other Cleveland Beers Standard; P.O.C.; Gold Bond and others now that I forget.
I was seven or eight years old in the mid-fifties. Also Roma Wines.

11 Mar. 07 I came upon this site accidentally.

Schuster, the brewery owner. I am a Schuster descendent. I would love to hear from anyone who has any more information on the Schuster lineage. My mother-in-law has a Cleveland-Sandusky Brewing Corporation stock certificate (100 shares) dated 1957. Is it of value to anyone? She could use the money. edszhi at san. rr. com I have an amber beer bottle embossed RENNER'S YOUNGSTOWN, O; the Y superimposed over B within a star TRADE MARK, all within a shield, C.&CO. on bottom rim, the lip is a blob, not a crown.

Chuck I did a search on 'Hudepohl Brewing Company' at wikipedia and got some interesting info on the company history. I've worked in Cincy but never lived there, so I hope this helps.
Could anyone tell me the address of the Hudepohl factory in Cincinnati, Ohio??? I am flying all the way from Amsterdam (the Netherlands) to see it! I am currently working in a building built in the 1920s on East Huron Road in Cleveland. We know it was originally a brewery but are not sure which one. We think it was most likely Pilsener but haven't found anything to confirm or deny this. Can anyone be of help? We loved your Hudepohl beer here in Tennessee!! Would love to find a tank top , t-shirt or hat with Hudepohl-Schoenling brewing company on it. Im from Wisconsin, so maybe a lead to to website or catalog that would sell Hudepohl collectibles. What a great site!Greetings from one who enjoys Ohio history and beer. I can't wait to share this site with others that will also enjoy it. My father was Jochann Renner, born in Yugoslavia and I with other Siblings. He married Kristine Gleich. We migrated to Austria in 1941 then to Kinzenbach, Germany Kreis Wetzlar. Are we a relation. My father's Uncle moved to America in the late 1800's or early 1900's. I am trying to locate our Renner geneology for tracing our family line. Eva Renner Bee I have a beer bottle that says RED BAND in the middle and a circle around that that says RENNER & WEBER BR'G CO. MANSFIELD, O. No label, all letters stamped and formed into the bottle.
Looking to find the age of this bottle?
Thanks,
Jamie I'm looking for information in regard to my wife's great grandfather. He was said to have operated a brewery in Canton Ohio. The last name would have been Summer. I was wondering if you have any information on the Lion Brewing Company in Cincinnati, OH. If you could e-mail some sites or information, I would greatly appreciate it! A couple of months ago I posted a message regarding a brown glass beer bottle that I found with the words "T.A. Ballou" and "Alliance,Ohio" embossed on the front of the bottle. After months of searching, I have finally found some history. The origin of this bottle is "Thomas A. Ballou, Liquor Wholesaler". This establishment operated on Arch street in Alliance, Ohio from 1899 to 1918.
Thanks to those of you that attempted to help me find the information I was looking for. I am so glad I found this site. I was wondering if anyone can tell me something about a beer stein/mug that I have. My Father gave it to me about 32 years ago, he said it was from the first brewery ever in Cincinnati. On the side of it there is a figure of George Washington's head with an eagle underneath,and under that it says Washington Brewery Co. On the bottom it is either a figure 8 or two circles joined, I cannot tell which. I would appreciate any information on this, for I have had no luck at all in my research. Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Shelia Fayard-Wong Hi, In my first entry I mentioned the tax stamp on the neck of the bottles. This stamp info is from a POC; Malt Beverage Tax,State of Ohio,
1 1/2 cents Section 6064-41A
Amended Liquor Control Act
June 1935.
This bottle was Made by Anchor Hocking. There are numbers on the bottom, to the right of the A.H. logo is a 3 to the right is 42 and below the logo is a 4. I want to think this means March 1942??? I'll folow up on this. I just want to explain the tax stamp. I enjoy reading everyones letters. Thanks, Bob
Hum, this must be the place. I have a case of beer. The case is a wood POC 24. The beer is an assortment - POC, Black Label, Grossvater Special,
Budweiser and Schlitz. The bottles are clear and amber. Now the good part, they're unopened, full. A few of the labels are damaged, many still have the tax label on the neck. I've had them for 33 years, e-gad! I've always wanted to date the bottles and find info on Grossvater beer. Finally, I'm getting around to doing just that. Well that's it! I'll keep in touch while I research what I have. Take care . Great site! I was browsing for information on beer brewing history in the Akron, Ohio area and found more than I expected. Great history on many of the old breweries.
Thanks

Some 26 years ago, we found-on our property here in Ontario, a brown glass 12 oz.bottle with the embossed name of "Renner Brew. Co." and above it a combination "R" and "B" with a "Y" (Renner, Brew. and Youngstown?) in the inside what appears to be a Star of David. Along the botton edge there is embossed "D.O.C.117.", "THIS BOTTLE IS NEVER SOLD" and a large "R"- the bottom. Any information concerning the age of this bottle would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Your Leisy sign comes up on E-bay once in awhile. Put it on e-bay. If my memory serves me correctly, they've gone for around $200? More if it is a neon? Keep checking e-bay.........Rick I found in my father's garage a Leisy's Light Beer light that's about 12" round in diameter. Can anyone please tell me more about this item. I've looked on e-bay and some other sites and haven't seen anything like it.
Thanks,
Shelli I have a hanging cardboard wall sign that says American Club Ginger Ale, by the Henry Gehring Co., Cleveland, OH. I also have a soda bottle from the same company embossed "Big Henry". Both circa 1920's or older. My question is; was Henry Gehring a relative of the beer brewery family of C.E. Gehring? Does anyone know any info on the Henry Gehring Co.? An advance thank you for any info!......Rick My great great grandfather was C.E. Gehring. I recently found a couple of brown beer bottles with the words embossed on the front of the bottle in a circle: "T.A Ballou" on the top of the circle, and "Alliance, O." on the bottom of the circle. I know there was an Alliance Brewing Co. in Alliance, Ohio, but this bottle appears to be even older than the Alliance Brewing Co. Any info. that anyone might be able provide would be most appreciated. Going through some inherited dishes, I found a Yellow Ware mug with "l00% Buckeye
Pure" on the bottom. The mug is 4 1/2 inches tall and has a diameter of a little
over 3 inches. I'd appreciate more information about it and I'd like to sell
it to someone who enjoys collecting beer
mugs. Great site. Friend in VA found a Hoster Columbus bottle back in the 1970's while civil war relic hunting in an area of a VA battlefield. Gave it to me, and I live in NC. Trying to find out age, etc. Think I am going to sell it on Ebay. It's in great shape. Would love to know any details anyone has.

Burkhardt bottle does any one have any more info on this item? Just purchased a very early copper cup that is engraved "LEISY" and their star logo and the name "J WADOVICK".I was told it was a brewery tasters mug.Appears to be late 1800's to early 1900's.Any info on this employee?The mug came out of Cleveland Ohio. I found a bottle that says (this bottle belongs to GEO J.Renner brew.co Akron.ohio) on the front and i just wanted info on it While excavating our backyrd in Barberton, Ohio for a swimming pool we unearthed a perfectly preserved bottle from the Geo J Renner Brewing Company in Akron, Ohio. It has the company name in a circular pattern with Pure Beer in the center and Akron, Ohio on the bottom of the circular pattern. It appears to be a corked type bottle. Does it have any value to a beer collector? Please tell me more about the bottle if you can
Thanks, Bob. I read with interest about the Christian Diehl Brewing Company. I do not believe I am related, but my grandfather was born in New Milford Ohio. If anyone knows where I can find some Diehlicious Beer glasses, i'd love to know. Hello,
Great site. I am married to one of the heir's of the Burkardt Brewery. If you find anything with the name Burkhardt on it please let me know.
Thanks,
Dennis I have a Burkhardt's bottle 12 1/2 Fluid OZ. Has embossed burkhardt's Akron, Ohio on front. The back has a very small circle at bottom of bottle with a star inside the circle withe number 10 next to it. The bottle has 2 seems that run both sides of the entire length of the bottle. I found it when I had to dig a new foundation for an annex to my house about 25 years ago in Kent, OHio. Anyone know how old this bottle might be? I recently purchased a building on W.65th Street in Cleveland that is said to have been owned by the Leisy Brewing Company. It was listed under the Pontiac Imp. Co. I am hoping to find a picture of what the building looked liked originally. Any help would be appreciated. I was looking at the history of Forge Industries. My father was Robert Holland. I have just listed a bottle from the geo j renner brew co in akron ohio on ebay--- To Phil Renner;
Sounds like you're probably from the Renner Brewery family. My dad's grandfather was George J Renner of the Renner Brewing Co. in Youngstown, Ohio. One of his cousins, who grew up in their grandfather's house, is named Adele. She is married to John Harvey who has tracked the Renner geneology back to Germany for several hundred years. I'm sure he'd be able to tell you what you need to know, given more information from you. If interested, email me at my personnel email address and I'll provide you more information.
Thanks,
MEG Goldcamp My great great grandfather was a brewer who came here from Germany in the 1850's. I have never heard of the Renner Brewery before. My great great grandfather lived in Cincinnati and his name was Philip Renner. If anyone knows anything about the Brewery history, please let me know. My maternal grandfather (Thomas Berry) was the general contractor for the "rebuild" of The Standard Brewery (early 50's I think). His father-in law was John Feighan who I believe, with a partner was the owner. Does anybody have any info/pics? I sure would like to dig into this. Thanks.

The cap has the state of west virginia on the bottle cap.Does anyone know information on the bottle or its value? I grew up a stone's (or snowball) throw away from the Crockery City Brewery and lived next door to Henry Paczek until I moved away in 1982. He and his wife, Mae, had no children, so they kind of adopted my brother and me. I have some things from the brewery: books/charts/thermometers, etc from the records of Henry Paczek, Master Brewer of Crockery City Brewery in East Liverpool, Ohio. Email me if interested. Great web-site with alot of good information. I was born and raised in East Liverpool and am an avid collector of East Liverpool advertising products.

It had K&S on the side and on the bottom, "The Kuebeler Stang Sandusky Ohio" We thought it was a wine bottle but thanks to your site, we learned it was a beer bottle circa 1890's from the Kuebeler-Stang Brewing and Malting Co. in Sandusky which is no long there. Lots of great information on your website! I have in my possession a mug with the name Leisy's that is/was a brewing company and the mug was made in Germany. This was an item in my mother's belongings that appeared to be something different. I had never heard of the company but held on to it so that one day possibly I would have the chance to research the company name. Today I happened to be in my local library and picked up a copy of the last years annual report, and I saw a photo the Isaac Leisy's Celebrated Lager Beer Brewery here in Cleveland,OH on Vega Avenue with the mention of the Historic City Directories. I am interested in more information about the Germany connection. I understand that the Leisy's were originally from Bavaria and that Isaac returned there for a while and married. Today I came across a "Diehl Beer, Defiance, Ohio" can opener. Since I never heard of Diehl Beer I just had to do an internet search. Thank you for the history of the brewery. Great website. William Chavara I used to live in Cincinnati and didn't know there was a Muhlhauser brewery. My grandfather had a brewery in Alexandria, VA named Tivoli Brewery. I am the great great grand daughter of C.E. Gehring, who founded the Gehring Brewery in Cleveland, Ohio. I would appreciate any information you may have about this brewery. Thank You, Kay Ruffini I was telling college drinking stories that revolved around Hudepohl beer and found your site. It is great. Hudepohl beer on the other hand is rough. We always ended up with the "Hude putties" the next day. Plus the bottles were beat up worse than Nicole Simpson. Oh the memories. I am the grandson of Henry Weber. I remember him telling me stories of the brewery in Mansfield and how they sold Red Band beer. I have a top to an old keg that says Renner & Weber Brewing Co. Mansfield, OH. I also have several old bottles from the brewery. My grandfather also gave me a picture of the original brewery in Germany. My mother who is 87 still has many stories about the Weber and Renner side of the family. Thanks for such a great site. I just purchased a brown bottle with "The Property of The Schuster Brew.Co Massillon, O" on the bottle. Does anyone have any more information on Schuster Brew Co. of Massillon? Thanks. mr.w. matz (grandfather) was my wife's her dads name was william jr.

I'm working on an artistic poster of the pre-pro breweries along the Miami & Erie Canal in Ohio (Cincy to Toledo). Limited to a small populace, but I'm pretty pasionate about the whole thing. If you have anything that migh help, I'd be very appreciative. My great-great grandfather, conrad Born, Sr. founded Born & Company in 1859. Interested in purchasing memorabilia from Born & Company, Capital Brewery, or Hoster-Columbus Associated Breweries, Co. Great site. Glad to find your site! While digging in our backyard in Maryland. I found a brown bottle with Hoster Columbus in raised letters on the bottle. Bottle is in perfect shape. Can anyone tell me about this bottle? Are there any collectors who would want such a thing? Is this old? Can anyone give me a date? There is some marking right near the base, but I can't make it out. Would love to hear frome someone. Thanks. Loved the site!
