It was a real treat. <br /><br />Yes, sadly, the old Sheridan Brewery is completely gone, but a new brewery is being built as we speak. Hope springs eternal.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Kirsten Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720732595156726142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-19479502969546274732015-03-02T16:55:01.424-06:002015-03-02T16:55:01.424-06:00I had no idea there was a Sheridan brewing company...I had no idea there was a Sheridan brewing company. When I saw the part where they switched to soda only, I started to think perhaps their name changed to Shasta. I remember that soda company's name from the time I lived in Nebraska. But I see that the company has shut down completely. What a shame, especially after making it through Prohibition. Water in a can does not sound appealing to me,Sarah J.

Most people, I'm sure, think it was Coke or Pepsi or even one of the beer companies, but nope it was right here in Sheridan.

"...became the first company in the...Kirsten,<br /><br />"...became the first company in the United States to bottle its products in flat-topped cans" <<< This little tidbit really caught my interest. Not that I'd ever contemplated the invention of flat-topped beverage cans, but it surprised me that it wasn't invented by one of the "name brand" companies. <br /><br />The instant I read your blog Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-90433556772511329562015-02-28T17:08:21.504-06:002015-02-28T17:08:21.504-06:00Cheryl, I agree, a website full of historic tidbit...Cheryl, I agree, a website full of historic tidbits would be a treasure! <br /><br />Glad you enjoyed this post on the Sheridan Brewery. There are a few people around town with the Can-a-Pop or Beer cans that still have the contents inside. Not sure those should be opened. :)Kirsten Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720732595156726142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-38630179310152334932015-02-28T16:27:42.488-06:002015-02-28T16:27:42.488-06:00Glad you enjoyed the post, Doris.

One thing about the Sheridan Brewery is when they tore it down many citizens gathered the items, so its history is well preserved.

Yes... it might all be there...but how do we know what to look for?

Fishermen would go there to fish since the brewery emptied its leftovers into the river. It no longer exists either. (At least to my knowlege, I'll have to check on that.) These small pieces of history are so fascinating.

It's amazing how many of the long time citizens of Sheridan have something from the Sheridan Brewery. It did have quite the history. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Kirsten Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05720732595156726142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-86279983971998515842015-02-28T13:43:42.862-06:002015-02-28T13:43:42.862-06:00Great post Kirsten.

It is sad to see how one start-up company was in existence for so long and then went by the wayside because of better ad campaigns. But what a history Sheridan Brewing had.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09396020400398531264noreply@blogger.com
