Heidi Marie Schmitzer posted this question on March 26, 2015 in the Facebook Group “You know you are from Sebewaing, MI when …”. She asked:

“Does anybody know where, in Sebewaing, the Mast family lived? I’m interested in knowing if any of their homes are still around?”

Here are the comments from the post:

Betty Guenther Art mast lived on Main st. Just before the Seb light plant, now a parking lot.

Heidi Marie Schmitzer Thank you Betty!

Steve Lenz Was that the green house?

Mark W Rummel There was another Mast Family I remember — Loren Mast. I think they later moved to Bay City and he was in real estate, if I remember right. I think they lived on N. Beck Street just south of the M-25 bridge on the east side, in what later became the Herb Gettel house.

Thank you to Heidi Marie Schmitzer for this post and all of those who took the time to comment in Facebook.

Huron County Brewing Company Beer

“While looking for something else, I came across this old beer bottle from the Huron County Brewing Co., Sebewaing. I know that was the name for what we later knew as the Sebewaing Brewing Company, and our local beer guru Scott Thede can give us details. I think it’s from about the 1910-era.

I wonder if the “11-S” means it’s from 1911 ?

Don’t misunderstand — this is NOT for sale or available. Someone just posted a picture of this type of long-neck beer bottle as an example of what was used here at one time. I wish we COULD buy some of these… and drink a few, too…”

Here are the comments from the post:

Mike Seibel 11-S is likely a number that is related to molding the bottle such as a mold number or even a manufacturing plant identification in the case of a company with many locations.

Don Pobanz I have a collection of Sebewaing beer bottles that my Brother, David sent me years ago. It’s reaaly cool to have.

Bob Fournier Looks good

Judy Bergman Weber Is Scott related to Jerry and Carolyn Thede from my old neighborhood on Rose Island Rd

Scott M. Thede Mark, I do not know very much about these kind of bottles. My research has not gone back that far yet. I hope down the road I can learn more about them.

Scott M. Thede Judy, Bud Thede from Rose Island was my grandfather Otto Thede’s brother.

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

1939 Essexville Hotel Menu

Posted on March 16, 2015 by Scott ThedeMarch 16, 2015

Mark W. Rummel posted this photo on March 15, 2015 in the Facebook Group “You know you are from Sebewaing, MI when …”. He said:

“You could buy Sebewaing Beer in 12″ long neck bottles for 10c or on draft (draught) for 5c at the Essexville Hotel, near Bay City, as this 1939 menu shows…”

Here are the comments from the post:

Brian K. Schwartz I’ll take it in a bottle, but it’s not noon yet.

Mark W Rummel Phoenix Beer was a Bay City brewery from 1898 until it closed in 1952. Kolb Brothers (1867-1939) was another Bay City brewery. I can’t find details about “Finest” Beer, but I expect it also was from Bay City or nearby.

Our Sebewaing Beer was almost a “hometown beer” for Bay City and Essexville and beyond…

Doug Rook Wow, a limburger sandwich and a 15 cent PBR, apparently then a “premium” beer at 50% more than Sebewaing and the other beers. 5 cent tap beer, give me a dollars worth!

Brian K. Schwartz Gotta wonder how it would fare in today’s market, considering how global it now has become.

Brian K. Schwartz Ugh!! Limburger cheese!! My grandfather, Frank used to eat that all the time. Grandma wouldn’t let him keep it in the house fridge!! He had to store it in the garage.

Doug Rook When I got married, my “trusty” groomsmen smeared limburger all over my car’s engine block.

Doug Rook My dad, Art Rook, liked limburger as well. It has to be an acquired taste.

Scott M. Thede Nice find Mark, thanks for sharing.

Bob Fournier Let’s bring back those prices. Remember the 15 cent shells and electric bull at the Cornerstone Unionville. Also Bill Pudubly, the one man band next to it.
