Not sure where to post this so I'll throw it in here...
I know there are a few Maine collectors on this site, so I hope someone can help me out. Has anyone ever heard of a bottle from Webster, Maine, with the name "Burt" on it?
John Burt was a prominent brewer from one of the towns I collect, East Stroudsburg, Pa. He started the Crystal Spring Brewery in 1868. I know a lot about his bottles, but I was recently doing some research on the man himself and it turns out he was from England and lived in Maine before Pennsylvania. By 1860 he was living in Webster, Me. His official occupation was a miller but he must have known something about brewing as by 1868 he was in Pennsylvania operating his own brewery.
Have any of you Maine collectors ever heard of him? Are there any beer bottles from Webster?
