S. Liebmann's Sons BRG Co. N.Y.


Towards the end of a cold dive in 52 degree water and after fighting a stiff current for about 1 hour 20 minutes, this bottle made it into the bag mainly because of it's color. Could not make out the name for it was encrusted with growth but on the surface I knew it was a "keeper"...

S.Liebmann's Sons  BRG Co. N.Y.

Trade Names for the brewery at 36 Forrest & Bremen Streets, Brooklyn, New York:
Samuel Liebmann (Meserole Street, Williamsburg) 1854-1855
S. Liebmann (readdressed to 36 Forrest & Bremen Streets) 1855-1870
S. Liebmann’s Sons 1870-1884
S. Liebmann’s Sons Brewing Co. 1884-1920
Brewery operations shut down by National Prohibition in 1920
Issued permit L-105 for the production of de-alcoholized beer during Prohibition 1920

The above information on the Liebmann's operation was found and because of this bottle being a "Crown Top" I would surmise it was produced during the 1884-1920 period.
