Adin Brewery
Adin, California, USA
Tally's Take
Why this matters
California Pass 187. The 1885 Modoc County directory explicitly lists Bofinger & Kilian as 'Adin brewery & saloon,' directly proving local production. Specialist California brewery indexing preserves earlier Jonas & Bofinger, Bedford & Bofinger and Palace Brewery phases in Adin from the late 1870s-1880s. Exact legal continuity and endpoints remain held.
