Eastside Lager Beer Cardboard Carton Box/Crate 1930's Vintage

Description: Great condition considering its age. Original Eastside Lager Beer cardboard carton box crate with flip open lids. This is still in very sturdy condition, not falling apart at all. According to historical references. This brewery only produced this product, Eastside Lager Beer, from 1933-1936 (reference from taverntrove.com below) which was produced at the Los Angeles Brewing Company. This is significant, because although the company was founded in 1897, it managed to grow and then survive prohibition by making "near beer" .05 brews that were legal under the prohibition rules. In 1933 when prohibition ended, this was one of the first brews Los Angeles Brewing Company released into the market that was in return to regular alcohol content for beer. Own a piece of LA's original Breweriana history! There can't be too many of these still out there floating around if any at all. NOTE: AUCTION IS FOR BOX DEPICTED IN PHOTOS ONLY, HISTORICAL PHOTOS REGARDING THE BREWERY ARE ONLY INCLUDED FOR YOUR REFERENCE. From LA Magazine: As craft brewers embrace the city’s unique iconography, transform historic downtown buildings into meeting houses, and find other ways to establish a connection with Los Angeles past and present, it may be only a matter of time until one taps into L.A.’s underappreciated brewing history to revive a long-dormant local brand: Eastside Beer. Angelenos began guzzling Eastside in 1907, after a Bavarian immigrant and veteran brewer named George Zobelein purchased the Los Angeles Brewing Company and introduced a new line of beers based on his recipes. With his brewery located on the east bank of the Los Angeles River (the present-day site of the Brewery Art Colony), Zobelein named his brews—ranging from a light pilsener to a heartier bock—Eastside. It soon became one of the town’s bestselling brands. Eastside survived Prohibition as near-beer—beer that squeaked under the 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) limit imposed by the Volstead Act—and returned to its more intoxicating form in 1933. But after Milwaukee-based Pabst Company purchased the brewery in 1948, Eastside lost market share to Pabst’s Blue Ribbon and other nationally distributed beers. Pabst relaunched the brand as Eastside Old Tap—the beer sold at Dodger Stadium’s opening day in 1962—but by the time Pabst closed its Los Angeles operations in 1979, the company had retired the Eastside brand. Today it remains shuttered, ripe for an enterprising local brewer looking to capitalize on Los Angeles’ forgotten beer history. 1933 Los Angeles Brewing Co.
