Berkeley Club bottles

[celerycola]

The one next to the park is a great co-op. I could easily spend an hour or two. Lots of bottles and tons of magazine ads cheap. The one in the factory isn't as good as it used to be. Ten miles further in Hancock MD is a large co-op but it has really gone downhill. Doubt I'll stop there again.

I've threatened to take a trip out that way on this trip. Are there enough antique shops to make that diversion worth it?

Then I shall have to change my route. I've been tempted to do this twice, but never got around to it. I've seen these Berkley Springs bottles for years, would be nice to visit the place.

Wow, now that is interesting. I was doing a quick search to see if I could locate the bottling plant and found a website for the company which claims they are going to relaunch the brand sweetened with cane sugar. They also have a facebook page, but the only post was back in March.

I wonder if they bought the Mountaineer Brewery - I miss their bottled stout.

If that was in Berkeley Springs itself, then I don't think so. This new operation is in Martinsburg, WV.

The brewery was in Martinsburg.

I have a 1939 r/w labeled quart that is not pictured above. There are no cutaways on the front, and the back label is especially interesting because it lists each ingredient separately with the amount in grains per volume. ~bottlingco

Ah. Dunno about that then.
