“Wow – while looking for something else, I came across this Saginaw News story from 1968, talking with Otto Thede about selling off the assets of the Sebewaing Brewing Company, which had closed in 1965.

His grandson Scott Thede has posted this and SO MUCH MORE on his great Sebewaingbrewingcompany.com page.”

(I’m sure my dad wrote the story for The News, as he was a stringer for them for 20 years.)”

Here are the comments from the post:

Lori Fisher Good photo and caption, too.

Bob Fournier It might have made it in today’s market, especially with micro breweries popping up. The big boys had to get rid of the little brewery’s.

Jennifer Trevillian The second to last paragraph is sad- maybe some day a new micro-brewery will come to Sebewaing. I enjoyed seeing the photo of building again. I remember when they tore it down.

Scott M. Thede That’s my Grandpa! He lived right next to Satows in the green and white house. My guess is he is sitting about where the Sale’s Office was the was immediately next to the Brewmasters test area and is the only remaining building still standing today.

Scott M. Thede Thank you for posting Mark and thank you for the website plug.

Thank you to Mark W. Rummel for this post and all of those who took the time to comment in Facebook.
