Lion Brewery – Label Fun Little Steg

I’m not sure about you, but I’m continually amazed at how many products have come out of Lion Brewery over the years.  Take my word for it or check out the WB Brewing History Page I added in January for a compendium of everything I’ve posted so far.

Today we have “little” STEG Gold Medal Beer in the 7oz size (thus the “little”).

Lion Brewery – Label Fun Pocono Blonde

Here’s a relatively new label.  I know we already covered the Brewery Hill line and one or two of the Pocono line, but not this one.  Today I present Pocono Blonde Ale in 12oz size.  I’ll be driving around the Poconos this weekend, so I’ll be sure to watch out for those amazing snow covered rocky mountain peaks on the label ;)

Lion Brewery – Label Fun Lion Bock

This one appears to be a very old Lion Bock label.  Hopefully someone can fill in the time frame of this beer/label but I’m guessing around 1930 or so (no Tax Stamp).  This one is for a 12oz bottle and features the tagline “Enjoyed Everywhere.”

Lion Brewery Stegmaier Polka Fun

Here’s a little Stegmaier Gold Medal Beer Coaster with the “Stegmaier Polka” on the back….and I quote.

Now if you want a beer that’s mellow
A beer that is really grand
Just Say “Make Mine Stegmaier’s”
The Gold Medal Beer of the land

And so at home or club or tap room
Always order the brew that they cheer
Served just right
Mellow cool and light
Stegmaier’s Gold Medal Beer
