Menard's must be making a brewery

CABINET BOB,

I remember a train dealer telling a customer who was looking at two different cars, when in doubt, by both. Maybe, Menard's could make a brewery now and include (4) different beer signs for it. Then sometimes later, come out with another brewery (different design) and include (4) different beer signs with it. The main thing to do now, would be to get something started.

Is something brewing at Menard’s?  

A Rolling Rock gathers no moss

Im sure they are busy with yet another building Im going to have to annex my train room for. 

It looks to be on fire, notice the fire engine on the bottom.

I'm with Ben on this one. Leinenkugel's would be an excellent choice.  But then, Schlitz, Old Style, Pabst, Huber or any other beer that started out life in Wisconsin would work for me. Heck, I'd even go for Old Milwaukee.

Schlitz, Pabst, Miller, Blatz (Old Heidelberg), Chief Oshkosh, Peoples, or any other Wisconsin beer, even Leinenkugel's, would work for me.

I was pumped so many times for a Brewery. And never one to come but a lot of great buildings came along. I could not wait any longer so I am making my own. Following in line with their buildings most are of the modern era and I need older looking buildings. But I say there is always the possibility of an older one. Their Vetter's Sash and Door is an older looking building.  These are the flats I will be incorporating into it. I already have the track down but if by chance they make an older style brewery I'll buy it and place it on the layout. Beer competition is good...........Paul

With all this talk about a Brewery, I'm surprise MTH or Lionel hasn't announce they were making one.

Pretty sure MTH already made a Brewery, early 2000's. MTH 30-9084, MTH 30-90220 etc. Now, usually listed at a ridiculous price, that I won't pay. I'd rather do what Paul 2 is doing, or Cabinet Bob, Glenn L. Taylor have done, make your own, and make it your own.

Here is the old Rainer Beer Brewery from Seattle! Closed in 1999.

DIVERGING CLEAR,

You are correct MTH has made a couple of brewery's. All being the same building, just different colors. But know it would be nice if they made one in a different design.

This is still my favorite breweries but would love to add one more

Fantastic brewery!!  Is it modeled on the actual Ballantine plant?

Well, I think that the Bud brewery takes the cake for beauty

Many fine examples here for kitbashing a Brewery. Thanks to those who have posted photographs of their models and the real thing, really love the old postcards!
