My husband is a big beer enthusiast, and he's found an interest in brewing his own beer, along with cider and wine. He has really been determined to make a beer that I will actually enjoy. I think he finally found success.
I made this logo with Photoshop for his keg fridge. He also threw a few on his home-brew kegs. :)

Brewing with history
Alaska has a rich history of brewing. From the explorers of the 1700s through the Gold Rush, many a thirsty Alaskan has been able to enjoy locally made beers.
In 1986, 28-year-olds Marcy and Geoff Larson reignited that tradition when they opened the Alaskan Brewing Company, the 67th independent brewery in the country and the first brewery in Juneau since Prohibition. Alaskan beers reflect many of the same characteristics of beers that were brewed here during the gold rush era. From the historically based Alaskan Amber recipe to alder-smoked malts and Sitka spruce tips, Alaskan beers reflect Juneau’s local brewing history and innovation.
A daring solution
Marcy and Geoff were drawn to the beauty and adventure of Alaska, but finding a livelihood that would allow them to stay was a challenge. “Why not start a brewery?” a friend suggested. Other than the extreme financial and logistical challenges of brewing beer in the Last Frontier, they couldn’t think of why not. Maybe the idea wasn’t so far-fetched. After all, Geoff was a chemical engineer and a homebrewer and was married to Marcy, an adventure-seeking accountant and aspiring bush pilot. Together they brought a unique skill set to the task of opening a brewery in Alaska.
While researching brewing in Alaska, Marcy unearthed shipping records from Douglas City Brewing Co. (1899-1907) that listed ingredients for its popular beers and a newspaper article that described the way it was brewed. Geoff homebrewed a batch of the Gold Rush-era brew and they could see what made it so popular. That beer is now known as Alaskan Amber.
In December 1986, Alaskan Brewing Co. officially began operations when Geoff, Marcy and 10 volunteers spent 12 hours hand packaging the first 253 cases of Alaskan Amber for distribution in Juneau, Alaska. From that very humble beginning, Alaskan Brewing Co. has grown to become one of the most award-winning craft breweries in the history of the Great American Beer Festival and expanded distribution to 20 states.
ryan got this new brew kettle. It's made from an old keg. Allegedly this will allow him to do "all grain brewing" and "full volume boil". I am not sure what any of that means.
Lagunitas Brewing Company Chicago opened in 2014 and is the California beer giant's second brewery. At 300,000-square feet, it is the largest brewery in Chicago. The space at 2607 W. 17th St. was formerly a Ryerson Steel distribution plant.

NOTE: The company announced in May 2024 it is closing the brewery and taproom - moving them to California - while keeping the warehouse and distribution facility.

Falstaff Brewing Company Plant #1, St. Louis Missouri, August 2016.
Originally, the Forest Park Brewery, this later became Falstaff Brewing Company Plant #1. Much more recently this was Six Row Brewing Co., but they have closed and it is now a PaPPo's Pizzeria & Pub. The restaurant occupies the Administrative office building of the old plant. I'm not clear which of the surrounding building were part of the former brewery.
Interestingly, most of the information I found on the web came from from the description of an antique beer tray that someone was trying to sell.
The Forest Park Brewery was established in 1910 at 3662 Forest Park Blvd. in St. Louis, MO. Owned by Ed Wagner, Sr., he decided to build this brewery across the river from his other brewery, Wagner Brewery in Granite City, IL after it was bought out in 1907 by the Independent Brewing Association.
The Forest Park Brewery was known for it’s unique “coffee pot” shape. It produced two malt style beers brands; Forest Park and Old Time Lager. Both beers were advertised to be “as good as the German imports”. Tying the taste into a German imported beer made sense since St. Louis had a large population of German heritage in the early 1900’s.
Unfortunately, with prohibition impending and sales declining, the Forest Park Brewery went bankrupt in 1917 and it closed. However, Papa Joe Griesedieck of the Griesedieck Brothers Brewery family bought the building and produced “Hek”, a prohibition era beverage during the 1920’s. When prohibition ended in 1933, the Griesedieck family started the Falstaff Brewery in the same building. Today, parts of the original building still stand but not as a brewery.
