Beer Lover Tapestries
Description: The Iroquois Brewery was successor to the Jacob Roos Brewery, originally founded in 1842. Much of the Iroquois advertising that appeared after prohibition cites this 1842 date as the brewery's founding. The brewery was located between Hickory and Pratt Streets in Buffalo, N.Y. It was operated by Jacob Roos and, after his death, by George Roos, until 1892, when it was sold to Leonard Burgwerger. Burgwerger razed the buildings and built a new brewery on the site. This was the start of the Iroquois Brewing Company. Iroquois survived prohibition by brewing soda and near beer, and reopened shortly after prohibition ended in April 1933. Iroquois grew and prospered after prohibition and became the largest brewer in Buffalo.

Description: Billy Beer was a beer first made in the United States in July 1977, by the Falls City Brewing Company.[1] It was promoted by Billy Carter, whose older brother Jimmy was the President of the United States.[2] In October 1978, Falls City announced that it was closing after less than a year of Carter's promotion.

Description: National Bohemian Beer, colloquially Natty Boh, is an American lager originating from Baltimore, Maryland. It was first brewed in 1885 by the National Brewing Company, but was eventually purchased by Pabst Brewing Company. Nearly 90 percent of National Bohemian sales are in Baltimore.
Description: Apache was first introduced in 1934 by the Arizona Brewing Company and quickly became a popular brand in the local bars and taverns. Only offered on draught originally, the growing popularity of Apache quickly made the brewery’s primary brand. By the end of the year, the brewery announced the beer was available in bottles, and by the end of 1935, Apache Beer was available in cans and distributed throughout Arizona and parts of New Mexico and Texas securing its place as an early Southwest favorite. The Apache Beer can itself was short-lived, with new ownership in 1937, the canning line ceased operation and the Arizona Brewing Company would not produce another can until 1948.

Description: Located in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood, the Walrus Tavern was a legendary live music venue that hosted countless blues and rock 'n roll shows over the years. When it wasn't playing host to local bands and all-time great blues singers, the tavern was a true neighborhood watering hole, providing frosty libations and reliable tavern food. Unlike most places, the Walrus didn't close up shop for lack of customers or ever-increasing rents, rather it burned to the ground in 1984. The concrete pad it sat on remained vacant for decades until another bar opened up next door and annexed the Walrus pad as a beer garden, aptly named 'The Walrus Beer Garden.'
