Montgomery Brewing Company (pre-Prohibition)
Montgomery, Alabama, USA
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Alabama Pass 17. Closed 1919. Montgomery County. Founder: Charles E. Hall. Status as recorded: HISTORICAL/CLOSED. A late Montgomery Brewing Company brewpub history identifies Charles E. Hall as founder of the original Montgomery Brewing Company at the foot of North Hull Street and says Prohibition ended the operation in 1919. Primary 1889 newspaper advertisements independently prove Montgomery Brewing Co. was actively selling 'Montgomery Beer' made with artesian water, imported hops and Canada malt. Exact opening year and Hall's corporate role still require primary city-directory/incorporation proof.
