Alice Wissner Got it. By the way, this is Cindy. Mom wanted to let you know that I was the one figuring how to get the pic on here not her.

Alice Wissner Not sure of the year. Don, Owen and Vic Wissner, Rusty Ludwig and Ed Janke bowled on the same team for many years.

JimConnie Bunke I love the embroidery on it.

Deborah Wissner I thought of that shirt when someone else posted the Sebewaing beer logos:-)

Deborah Wissner Good work, Cindy;-)

David Diebel I have several of those beet labels.

Thank you to Alice Wissner for posting the photo and all of those who took the time to comment in Facebook.

Front of Brewery

Front of brewery circa 1975Mark W. Rummel posted this photo on April 16, 2013 in the Facebook Group “You know you are from Sebewaing, MI when …”.  He said “Duane Wurst of Pigeon is a top-quality photographer and artist who shares his love for the Thumb. He recently posted a very familiar looking shot of the front of the ole Sebewaing Brewery.

I’m proud to have an original painting and photo of the Charity Island Lighthouse which Duane painted probably 20 years ago, as a Christmas gift from wife Sally. Check out his work, and enjoy this CBWing memory!”

Here are the comments from the post:

Doug Rook I’ll bet that lighthouse needs a second coat by now.

Gloria Jane Jones I saw that bldg for the biggest part of my life..Lived in Seb. the first time when I was four yrs old..Beautiful painting..thought it was the actual picture…sad when the bricks were going down..

Mary Beers Have that same shot only with a boy walking in front of the building. It is hanging on our wall as we speak. Miss the building.

Chuck Sterling The building I work in now has the same kind of freight elevator… And, I always wondered, as I now do again, what came out of the square metal chute?

Mark W Rummel Good question, Chuck. Was it some malt by-product? I remember farm trucks being parked there, receiving a load of stuff through that chute… Any other ideas??

Shawn W Janke My stepfather (deceased) Ralph Ludwig worked there, and I used to fish the river behind it. I caught more suckers there than anywhere.

Jacklyn Hughes This brings back a lot of memories of riding my bike down to my grandparents house or down to dads barbershop right past the brewery. It was sad to see it come down.

Scott M. Thede Answering the question from Chuck Sterling “And, I always wondered, as I now do again, what came out of the square metal chute?” The square chute sat below Mash Tub #1 and was the spent grain chute. The other bin with the cover to the right of the painted pheasant was the malt hopper that attached to the malt elevator.

Old Style “Lion” Label

Sebewaing Brewing Company Posted on by

Old Style LabelMark W. Rummel posted this photo on March 8, 2013 in the Facebook Group “You know you are from Sebewaing, MI when …”.  He said “Interesting question: This “Old Style Beer” label is for sale today on eBay. It was a Sebewaing Brewing Company product, I’d say from the early 1940s (due to the “Internal Revenue Tax Paid” line, which was common after Prohibition ended.)

My question: Did anyone know the Brewery made a 32 oz product? That’s the size bottle this label was placed on. I never knew this. I thought all bottles were brown glass 12 oz. long necks then (followed by shorties which were also 12 oz., in the early 1960s.) So this was kinda like a family size bottle, I guess. What was “Old Style” anyway? Does anyone have other ideas?”

Here are the comments from the post:

Arlene Nimtz Schweitzer I have the bottle cap that goes with this.

Mark W Rummel Wow, Arlene, very neat. I just didn’t know much about Old Style. I had heard the name but am not familiar, especially the 32 oz size bottle.

William Harder Huron county also had quartz bottles to I see more of the 32 oz then I do of the 12 oz lion bottles which one is more rare u can pick up a lot of the labels at us beer labels dot com for the third of the price

William Harder I won it
