It just gets better and better. Another great contract brewed label from Lion Brewery called Alf n’ Alf (a beautiful communion of Cream Ale & Caramelized Malt Porter.) Looks like another 12oz bottle contracted for Braumeister Ltd.
The labels are rolling in today….up next is Lion Brewery contract brew Blue Hen Light (12oz bottles---and only 96 calories!)
It never gets old seeing these interesting contract brews from Lion Brewery. Up today we have another 12oz bottle package for Olde Cape Cod Smugglers Ale (premium hand crafted).
Another awful scan, but here’s yet another Lion Brewery 12oz bottle package, this time for Brimstone Handcrafted Amber Ale.
Not a great scan, but here’s a unique one from Lion Brewery for San Luis Obispo (SLO) Extra Pale Ale. No idea how recent this 12oz bottle package is, but I know I’ve never seen it before.

We were the first to show off the Liebotschaner Cream Ale release from Lion back in July (here’s the bottle label)…so it’s fun to see the 16oz CAN label for Liebotschaner. Looks like we’ll see this GABF winning brew in 12oz bottles & 16oz cans. We also brought you 12oz Stegmaier cans back in April (Here’s the label), so it was also exciting to see Stegmaier IPA in 16oz bottles approved today! Can’t wait to try them both in person!

Here’s a really interesting historical beer label from Reichard & Weaver (Wilkes-Barre, PA). This 12oz bottle contains a “Non-Intoxicating Beverage…contains less than one half of one percent alcohol by volume.” Looks to be a Pilsner style that is “Perfectly Lagered” and somehow also “Dark.”
Here’s your first look at a new contract brew from our friends at Lion Brewery called FIX 1864 Special lager…”Traditional Beer of Greece (yes Greece) Since 1864 – "The Beer that Became a Legend. Fix the national beer of Greece, is now brewed under a special license by one of North America’s most honored regional brewers….FIX U.S.A., Wilkes-Barre, PA”
We’ve been bringing you all of the new Lion Brewery S
Thank you to Stashu Milski for sending another great photo. Today we have a photo from the first annual river regatta sponsored by Stegmaier Brewing, Sunday May 3rd 1970….Under the direction of the Business Administration Club of Kings College. Start West Pittston PA. End Nesbitt Park Kingston,PA.
OK buzzers….who can put some names on some faces in this photo???
Here’s the new packaging for Lion Brewery’s Stegmaier Gold 
(IPA and Amber HERE, pumpkin HERE and even Liebotschaner HERE)…and today the tradition continues for this 4.3% brew.

I reported it back in 2009 and since that time you have asked (and asked…and asked…and asked….) and Lion Brewery appears to have finally answered. I’m excited to show off the NEW packaging for the new Lion Brewery Liebotschaner Cream Ale. This 12oz bottle label carries the same shape as the updated Stegmaier line of brews, a “product of American brewing” tagline and the 1994-95 and 1995-96 GABF Gold medals (American Lager / Cream Ale category). Lion was also nice enough to include the 5% ABV, 12.5 O.G and even 14 IBU descriptors as well. Welcome back Liebotschaner!!
I’m excited to be the first to show you the new packaging for Lion Brewery Stegmaier Pumpkin Ale (ale brewed with pumpkin and spices)…the first new brew to come out of the Stegmaier line in over a year. We’ve been showing you the new Stegmaier packaging, but this is an actual new beer. Looks like it will be packaged in 12oz bottles and come in at 5.5% ABV.
here’s your first look at the new Lion Brewery Stegmaier Oktoberfest packaging for 2011. I brought you the IPA & Amber and White Ale…so why not show off the new Stegmaier Brewing Oktoberfest packaging. Yep it’s still a 12oz bottle and 6.1% ABV (with a pretzel)…and here’s the neck label too.

With all of the new packaging Lion Brewery just completed for their Stegmaier Line (Summer Stock, IPA, Pale Ale, Oktoberfest, Winter Warmer…) it was a huge surprise to see this new label approval for Stegmaier IPA with radically different can packaging. This 12oz label carries the tag “Brewed in the honorable tradition of Charles Stegmaier” and the original Stegmaier initials logo. “When the Lion acquired the Stegmaier family of brews in 1974, we vowed to continue the rich brewing tradition started by Charles Stegmaier. Each of our lagers and ales are brewed in small batches with the finest hops and malts available to guarantee the highest quality and freshness. These original recipes were especially created to deliver a fuller flavor than ordinary beers. This a proud brewing history dating back to 1905, you can taste the difference that a century of brewing experience can make!”
No it’s not what you’re thinking based on my headline….but Thank you again to our old pal Stashu Milski for providing us with another local historical beer-photo. This one is labeled Scranton Police dumping Beer during prohibition, Scranton PA and it’s from the 1920 to 1933 timeframe according to the label.
