Moerlein Beer Bottle

[Louisiana Man]

I found a brown glass Moerlein beer bottle and I'm trying to get some information about it.

1890's amber blob top, he was a very prolific brewer and there's alot of his stuff out there. In this condition it might be a $10-15 bottle on it's best day IMO....

Hey Kelly,

Welcome to the A=BN, and thanks for bringing the script Moerlein. First of these, I remember seeing. Is there a maker's mark on the heel or base?

There's quite a lot of information out there on Christian Moerlein. He was The King of Brewing in Cincinnati, at a time when the city had eighty some breweries.

Here's a Moerlein Thread from a while back.

Hey Louis,

Moerlein - Gerst was an 1893 partnership of Christian Moerlein, and William Gerst of Nasville.
