Metal Stock Ale Sign
Mark W. Rummel posted this photo on January 4, 2015 in the Facebook Group “You know you are from Sebewaing, MI when …”. He said:
“There’s a dandy metal sign, bigger than a license plate, from the 1930s featuring “Sebewaing Stock Ale” for sale today on eBay. We’re glad it’s “Brewed Full Strength” — we sure wouldn’t want a half-brewed beer, would we?
I hadn’t seen this one before, and the seller (from Ann Arbor) has started bidding at a hefty $175.00 — we’ll see if anyone from CBWing wants to buy it.”
Here are the comments from the post:
Joyce Harder Mark Rummel I don’t know if you ever was in Shooters Grill in Pigeon, but I was in there the other day for lunch and from the ceiling was hanging a truck door from and old Sebewaing Brewery delivery truck had the Sebewaing Brewery logo on the side. Thought it was pretty neat.
Mark W Rummel Thanks, Joyce — yep, we’ve eaten at the former Shooters in Pigeon. Actually, that was the newspaper office before it was made into that cool bar — I worked in that building almost 20 years, 1978-98. One of the doors (behind the bar) says “Progress” for the old Pigeon Progress, too — lots of history.
Mark W Rummel For another Sebewaing connection, I’m sure Sebewaing sign-painter Sam Lupp painted that Sebewaing Beer truck door on display in Pigeon. Another local connection.
Joyce Harder Thanks Mark this was the first time I was in Shooters and just glance up and saw the door. Lol lots of good memories just hanging around.
Lori Fisher Maybe “Brewed full strength” was a good marketing slogan after Prohibition?
Thank you to Mark W. Rummel for this post and all of those who took the time to comment in Facebook.
