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.com. There are lots more items on the site. If your photo is put on the website, I will make sure you get the credit. Please check it out!”

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

Mark W. Rummel posted this photo on September 29, 2013 in the Facebook Group “You know you are from Sebewaing, MI when …”.  He said “John Tanton, Sr., made this cut-out from an old advertising poster for Sebewaing Brewing Company’s “Old Style Beer,” probably from about 1948. He mounted it on a piece of plywood and I pounded a hole through the middle of it about 1965 as a teenager and hung it on my wall. (You can see the hole in the “T” on the word “STOCK.”)

I’ve still got it, as one more reminder of the Beer that Made Sebewaing Famous…”

Here are the comments from the post:

Patricia Holland I have the clock that was raffled off when Scheurer Hospital was raising $$$ to build a new hospital. John Tanton Sr. Of course built it. It hangs on our wall tick to king every day! Hannah called me to tell me I had won it! I cleaned their house back then and she was thrilled for me…..many years ago.

Lori Fisher He made cutouts from photos for our family. Very smart and good man. I am still in touch with Liz Tanton Faupel, who taught me a lot growing up.

Mark W Rummel Hannah was one of the nurses on duty when I was born at Scheurer Hospital ‘way back in 49…

Patricia Holland I think she was still on duty in 1967?

Julianne Eisele Every Christmas I bake Hannah Tanton’s Fluffy Shortbread cookies – beyond delicious. She gave us the recipe when I was a little girl. I have many fond memories of being in their home.

William Harder You know this would look nice to the one I have,want to sell it lol

Mark W Rummel I agree, William, but I don’t think you can afford the $1.2 million I’m asking for it

Thera Heck Harder what a deal lol

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