“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.
