Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:49266452 |
Fantastic and very rare, original, ca1900 Pre-Prohibition, Barrel-Shaped Stoneware Advertising Beer Stein / Mug issued and distributed by the Minneapolis Brewing Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota in near mint, original condition.
This fantastic Beer Mug / Stein is shaped like a barrel and measures approx. 4 1/4” tall and 2 1/2” in diameter at the base. The Mug features the Trade Mark of the Minneapolis Brewing Company on the front surface. The Mug carrie...s the mark of the manufacturer – Thuemler Manufacturing Co. of Rochester, Pennsylvania - on the base. The handle of the Mug is cast in the form of the head of King Gambrinus.
The Minneapolis Brewing Company began as a merger of four of the largest breweries in Minneapolis under the name of the Minneapolis Brewing and Malting Company. The John Orth Brewing Company, the Heinrich Brewing Association, the Frederick D. Norenberg Brewery, and the Germania Brewing Association, came together in 1890, operating chiefly out of John Orth's facility as it was the largest of the four. In 1892, a large new brewery was constructed on the site of the Orth Brewery, incorporating four different architectural styles representing the four original breweries. Additions made over the next ten years would make it one of the largest breweries in the country. The business was reorganized and incorporated under the name of the Minneapolis Brewing Company in 1893, at which time a new line of beers were introduced under the Golden Grain Belt Beer trademark. By 1905, the organization had become nearly self-sufficient, containing a cooperage, a carpentry shop, a machine shop, a wagon shop, a paint shop, and a livery. The company prospered up to Prohibition, during which time operations shifted to producing near-beer, malt syrup and soft drinks. After this dismal period Grain Belt, "the Friendly Beer, " was again brewed, much to the delight of the Twin Cities populace.
This rare and very attractive, Pre-Prohibition Stoneware Advertising Beer Stein is in near mint condition. There are no chips, cracks, surface wear, physical damage or repairs of any kind. The ground stoneware is exceptionally clean and crisp with no staining or discoloration. The transfer decoration is crisp and well preserved and the Mug displays beautifully.
A very rare and wonderful, ca1900 Pre-Prohibition, Barrel-Shaped Stoneware Advertising Beer Stein / Mug issued and distributed by the Minneapolis Brewing Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!
