RE: old photo - 9/6/2007 7:53:02 PM    brokenshovel   Posts: 463 Joined: 8/29/2005 From: Westminster Maryland Status: offline Weissner beer wagon 1902 The brewery behind the wagon is still there.  Fred Baurenschmidt bought out the building and brewed American beer there. It's an awsome gothic building surrounded by crap.  The building now belongs to a non-profit human service agency.  I hope to get a tour if they clean it up.

RE: old photo - 9/10/2007 6:51:38 PM    brokenshovel   Posts: 463 Joined: 8/29/2005 From: Westminster Maryland Status: offline Thanks, my grandfather also worked for the breweries after prohibition.  But he was a bottle breaker.  Breweries didn't want their prepro bottles coming around so when they did he was to smash them.  He ended up keeping bottles and that's how he got started.
