Is this correct? It's a T-shirt's label, but is it realy an original source's picture, even?
I always thought the Meeske bros had control over Muskegon Br'g Co.? I had also thought Chumard left the business by 1900ish.
This is saying that Muskegon Brewing Co. has ties with Chumard's I did not know existed.
Can anyone disprove or verify this? Established, accepted Brewing Co. info:[h6]"EST: 1867[/h6][h6]YEAR CLOSED: 1957[/h6][h6]LOCATION: Muskegon, MI (1159 Lake Shore Drive)[/h6][h6]TRADE NAMES:[/h6]Frederick Neumeister 1867-1874L. A. Johnson 1874-1876Meeske Bros. (Otto & Gustav) 1876-1877Muskegon Brewing Co. Meeske Bros. (604 Michigan Avenue & Lake Street) 1877-1919Brewery operations shut down by National Prohibition in 1920Issued U-Permit No. MI-U-677 allowing the resumption of brewing operations 1933Muskegon Brewing Co., Inc. (1159 Lake Shore Dr) 1933-1934Grand Rapids Brewing Co. 1934-1946Goebel Brewing Co, 1946-1957" From here. Pictures: Label from first link, my new Chumard bottle, my new Muskegon blob. Why have I not come across this earlier?

This says that Chumard established Muskegon Bottling Works in 1865 which would later become part of Muskegon Brewing Company.
It also gives me another name: Ninnemann.
From an 1892 book.
