Crescent City Brewery
Crescent City, California, USA
Tally's Take
Why this matters
California Pass 187. A June 13, 1891 Del Norte Triplicate item states that Mr. Reuben, 'who will run the Crescent City brewery,' left for San Francisco. This is direct local-newspaper evidence of a brewery operation/management identity in Crescent City. The 1891 date is retained only as a documentary anchor, not an exact founding year. No beer row is created because the retrieved strong source does not name a specific Crescent City Brewery product.
