Brewers’ Best Parade Float
Scott M. Thede posted this photo on October 20, 2013 in the Facebook Group “You know you are from Sebewaing, MI when …”. He said “Here is a photo of the Brewers’ Best campaign for the Sebewaing Brewing Company from about 1947. This was a float in the Sugar Festival parade I believe. If you have any photos of the inside or outside of the brewery, please send them my way at scott@mielvis.com. I have a website for the Sebewaing Brewery at sebewaingbrewingcompany.co
Here are the comments from the post:
Janet Fuerst Reithel I posted a picture of the outside of the brewery on this site on October 6, 2011.
Scott M. Thede I will look for it on that date. Thank you so much Janet!
Scott M. Thede Found it, thank you. Is it ok to put it up on the website with a credit to you?
Janet Fuerst Reithel No problem!
JimConnie Bunke You might want to go through the photos here. There are quite a few photos related to the brewery. Photos of postcards, photos of the brewery, photos of items related to the brewery have been posted here.
Scott M. Thede I will do just that. Thank you Connie.
Mark W Rummel Great photo, Scott, which I’ve never seen before. Also a good view of Eisengruber’s Restaurant (which I hadn’t seen before either.) I believe that’s a 1947 Chevy coupe, so your dating sounds right.
Dan J. Rummel I don’t think this is Sebewaing.
Dan J. Rummel I can see barber pole for Sharpsteens Barber shop, so maybe it is.
Alice Pommerenke Sugar Festival started at later date but years ago we had a Dairy Day and another -senior moment – can’t remember. Oh yeah, we had home comings and 4th of July celebrations.
Alice Pommerenke *Dan – it is Sebewaing – you’re right bout the barber pole
