From the record

Tally’s Take

Articles of incorporation filed on 25 May 1892 under the brewing magnate Frank Ruhstaller, per the Center for Sacramento History and the Sacramento History Museum — an exact date for a company whose ending is not recorded here at all. Not to be confused with the Sacramento Brewing Company of 1995, which shares the name and nothing else, and is held as its own record.
