From the record

Summary

A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.

Tally’s Take

The modern one: opened 1995, ceased operations in 2009, sharing a name with Frank Ruhstaller's 1892 company and no connection to it whatsoever. Fourteen years. The archive keeps the two apart deliberately — this is the second city in the collection where a craft-era brewery took the name of a pre-Prohibition one, after Birmingham's two Birmingham Brewing Companies.
