Welcome to Wilkes-Barre Brewing History

After months of publishing some great photos of the old Stegmaier and Lion Breweries, and scans of many many Lion/Stegmaier beer labels, I decided our local Wilkes-Barre brewing history deserved a better home. To that end I have decided to create this page and link it directly to mybeerbuzz.com.

Until I find the time to create a real book out of this robust collection of our local brewing heritage, it seems like this will be as good a place as any to store and display our collective compendium of local brewing.

This “rag-tag” collection is not in any specific order and certainly not complete, but it will serve as home to our local brewing history.

Please feel free to browse the collection and PLEASE do submit any photos, labels, advertising or local beer memorabilia to me via e-Mail (mybeerbuzz@gmail.com) and I will add it to the page and credit the person submitting.  Keep in mind there are multiple pages so when you reach the bottom of this page, be sure to continue clicking on “Older Posts” or follow the blog archive in the right hand menu bar.

Be sure to stay tuned for the mybeerbuzz book of local brewing history.
