Description: This energetic, collegiate-style graphic features a playful orange bear lying on its back while holding up a large beer bottle with its paws. Framed by bold, dark blue varsity typography spelling out **"BEER DOWN"** in a clever play on collegiate sports slogans, the hand-drawn design blends athletic team vibes with a fun, spirited humor.
Description: Quandt Brewing Co. Inc. opened in 1933 and closed in 1942 it was open for 9 years. Quandt's Brewing was active during Prohibition which makes it an oddity. Some breweries were able to stay in business by producing "near-beer" which was very low alcohol, some switched over to bottling sodas or other beverages, some became Ice-houses or other related businesses. Quandt Brewing Co. Inc. was in an active brewing city. Troy, NY was listed as having 34 breweries, which is quite a few. Sometimes a large number of breweries can lead to an active collecting community that will be willing to pay more for breweriana items than other collectors.
Description: A circular emblem featuring a gear outline. Inside, a bicycle is depicted against a backdrop of mountains. The text 'BIKES & BREWS' is prominently displayed below the bicycle. Two foamy beer mugs are shown at the bottom of the emblem. The style is distressed and monochromatic.
Description: The Baer & Stegmaier Brewery was opened in 1857 on South Canal Street by a partnership between Charles Stegmaier and his father-in-law, George Baer. It was later called the C. Stegmaier & Son brewery, in 1863 before finaly becoming Stegmaier Brewing Company in 1897. Between 1910 and 1913 Stegmaier won eight gold medals at expositions in Paris, Brussels and Rome. After prohibition it became one of the largest independent breweries in North America, reaching an output of a half million barrels in 1940. Using a 60-truck fleet and rail services, the distribution areas eventually covered the East Coast from Maine to Florida - a considerable evolution from the days of 1857 when Charles Stegmaier personally delivered each barrel.
