Title: A Strange Question For Allan
Post by: Towntalk on August 21, 2011, 11:25:13 AM
Some time back while going thru old old old Vindicators I came across a City Brewery ie. Renners ad  advertizing their beers and one of the beers was Budweiser. I never saw this before or after and didn't think to save it.

Being the house expert on Renners hopefully you can put a date to this so that I can go back and find and save it. I'm thinking that it was a Christmas ad but am not sure.

Towntalk,

You've got me on that one.  I never knew that Renner brewed any beer with a "Budweiser" label on it... I aways
thought that was a trademark of Anheiser-Busch (?)

What year did George open his brewery here? That would be helpful in tracing forward from that point ie 1869 when the Vindicator first published.

I think he came to Youngstown around 1885-86, from biographical info that I have read...
