Re: American Brewers Journal Aug - Oct 1937 Highlights

Yeah, Horton was the other NY brewer. Ballantine's date codes can be read off a clean can bottom, looks like they packed them the week ahead of Memorial Day weekend in 1937. Matt...plenty of Horton beer ads in 1937 but sadly not one mention of it being sold in quarts.... as a side note I'm curious ...

Re: American Brewers Journal Aug - Oct 1937 Highlights

So the ad says New York but likely meant the NY area since in newspapers ads Ballantine of New Jersey indicated on Daily_News_Wed__Jul_28__1937 that they are the first to introduce quart beer cans
