Tin Sign Info

Beer is the world’s most widely consumed and probably oldest alcoholic beverage, and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea. It is produced by the brewing and fermentation of starches, mainly derived from cereal grains—most commonly malted barley, although wheat, corn, and rice are widely used. Most beer is flavored with hops, which add bitterness and act as a natural preservative, though other flavorings such as herbs or fruit may occasionally be included.
 Beers are commonly categorized into two main types—the globally popular pale lagers, and the regionally distinct ales.  The strength of beer is usually around 4% to 6% alcohol by volume though may range from less than 1% , to over 20% in rare cases.

Beer forms part of the culture of beer-drinking nations and is associated with social traditions such as beer festivals, as well baseball ball games, football ball games and many other sporting actives.

Jack Daniels was born in 1850 and was one of 13 children. Jack started work at the tender age of 7 years old, and learned a tremendous amount about how to make whiskey.

In 1863 his step father sold Jack his Whiskey still Jack Daniel at the age of 13.

Jack believed in the mellowing process, even though it added time and cost in the making of his whiskey, it actually stood him apart as producing a product of quality. But Jack thought it was essential, so he perfected his charcoal mellowing process back in 1866.

To this day, this still gives Jack Daniels Whiskey its smooth character and unique taste.

In anticipation of government taxes, Jack Daniel’s registered his distillery in 1866. He was the first to do so, making it the nation’s oldest registered distillery.

In 1904 Jack Daniels entered his Old No. 7 Tennessee sipping whiskey at the World’s Fair held in St. Louis, Missouri. Of the 20 whiskeys from around the world, his was the only one awarded the World’s Fair Gold Medal and honored as the world’s best whiskey. And so his fame was born. The Jack Daniels Distillery is one of the most famous distilleries in America and is well worth a visit.

Miller Brewing Company merged with Coors Brewing Company on July 1, 2008, to become MillerCoors. Prior to the joint venture, Miller Brewing was the second largest brewing company in the United States behind Anheuser-Busch and was based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. It was owned by SABMiller. Miller owns breweries in Albany, Georgia; Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin; Eden, North Carolina; Fort Worth, Texas; Irwindale, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Trenton, Ohio, all of which have remained open since the MillerCoors joint venture.

Miller Brewing Company was founded in 1855 by Frederick Miller when he purchased the small Plank-Road Brewery. The brewery’s location in the Menomonee Valley provided easy access to raw materials produced on nearby farms.

On September 19, 1966, the conglomerate W.R. Grace & Co. agreed to buy 53% of Miller from Mrs. Lorraine John Mulberger (Frederick Miller’s granddaughter who objected to alcohol) and her family. On June 12, 1969, Philip Morris (now Altria) bought Miller from W.R. Grace for US$130 million, outbidding PepsiCo. On May 30, 2002, it was acquired by South African Breweries from Philip Morris for US$3.6 billion worth of stock and US$2 billion in debt, to form SABMiller; with Philip Morris retaining a 36% share at that time, with voting rights of 24.99%.

On August 14, 2006, Miller Brewing announced it had completed the purchase of Sparks and Steel Reserve brands from McKenzie River Corporation for US$215 million cash. Miller had been producing both products prior to this purchase.

On October 9, 2007, SABMiller and Molson Coors agreed to combine their U.S. operations in a joint venture called Miller Coors. SABMiller is to own 58% of the unit, which is to operate in the U.S. and Puerto Rico but not Canada, where Molson Coors is strongest. Molson Coors is to own 42%, but the parties are to have equal voting power.

I recently remodeled my entire basement, turning it from a dank, musty, cavernous pit to a livable space. Since I don’t believe in making modest goals, I set out to create the ultimate bar and billiards experience right in my own home. My wife wasn’t exactly enthusiastic about the idea at first, but then she found out that I was planning to stock her favorite wine in addition to serving up my brews of choice.

I moved the pool table in without incident and set up the wet bar in a matter of days. Then my mind went blank at the thought of decorations. But then I thought about what I had seen adorning the walls of real bars – neon beer signs, sports memorabilia and beer tin signs. Inspired by the great minds that had come before me, I set about finding my vintage décor online.

George Killian’s Irish Red is a lager brewed by Coors, and is currently widely available in the US.

George Killian’s Irish Red is a beer with an Irish heritage, based on a recipe created at Lett’s Brewery in Enniscorthy, Ireland, in 1864. It was originally an Irish red ale called “Enniscorthy Ruby Ale,” and brewed from 1864 to 1956, when the brewery closed and it was discontinued. Coors acquired the rights to brew and market a product based on the original recipe in America from France’s Pelforth Beer Company who currently own it along with the name. Coors initially introduced and marketed Killian’s Irish Red in the U.S. in 1981; the product was initially an ale as it had been originally, with a fruity flavor profile as per the style, but for marketing purposes[citation needed] the product was eventually toned down somewhat, and it was reformulated as a lager. It is not sold in Ireland The beer is named for George Killian Lett, the great-grandson of George Henry Lett, who founded the brewery in Enniscorthy. Lett serves as a spokesperson for the beer, and is known as “Bill Lett” in Ireland.

Killian’s Red, as it is sold in France George Killian’s derives its color and taste from a special caramel malted barley that is roasted at a high temperature longer and more slowly than most malts. There are no coloring agents or artificial additives used in the brewing process. It is deep amber in color and produces a thick head on pouring that goes away quickly. It has a fruity yet hoppy aroma and taste. In Europe the original formula for George Killian’s Irish Red produces a brew which is maltier, with a less pronounced reddish color than its American counter part.

George Killian’s is currently available in bottles, cans and kegs. A 12-ounce serving of George Killian’s has 163 calories and 4.9 percent alcohol by volume.

The George Killian’s brand was once also attached to another product, Killian’s Irish Brown Ale. The bottle was identical, except it had a green label. This was before the newer label design. The beer was also darker in color. It was withdrawn not long after its introduction.

The new Killian’s Label is basically the same label, however, the label itself is black instead of the traditional red that it was prior to 2008. The markings have remained the same. There are reports  that the formula for Killian’s Red has been adjusted a number of times since its reformulation from ale to lager. Despite changes, it is a brand that continues to sell quite well and appears to be a solid performer in Coors’ portfolio of products.

A few years back, I had the good fortune of receiving a beautiful oak bar from a friend of mine who was moving and no longer had room for it. I immediately designated an area of my basement to be the bar area and decided to decorate it properly. I stocked the bar with all the essential liquor and mixers, bought a mini fridge to store beer, and even bought coordinating bar stools so all my friends would have a place to sit. Still, something was missing – a little decor to liven up the area.

I decided that neon bar signs were too tacky for my rustic oak bar, so I went with retro bar tin signs on the walls. I found tin signs for a few of my favorite beers, like Anheuser Bush and Budweiser, as well as some retro Coca Cola and A&W Root beer tin signs to add some color and variety. The end result looks great, and all my friends look forward to coming over after work for a drink. The vintage tin signs add character and flair without overwhelming the space or looking tacky.

Michelob is a brand of beers produced by the Anheuser-Busch brewery. The first beer in the range is a 5% abv pale lager developed by Adolphus Busch in 1896 as a “draught beer for connoisseurs”.

The brand is named after Michelob, a Bohemian village near Saaz, in the region famous for its hops. After 1918, these places were renamed to Měcholupy (okres Louny) and Zatec.

Michelob was invented during a brewer’s strike in the 1930s from a recipe tossed together by the untrained workers left behind to run the brewery. It was so bad local taverns tossed their delivered barrels in the gutter until the streets ran with beer. When the strike was over, the brewery didn’t want to lose all that beer, no matter how bad, so they repackaged it and sold it as Michelob.

In 1961, a method was devised by the Anheuser-Busch brewmasters to produce a pasteurized version of Michelob which did not diminish flavor beyond acceptable levels. This allowed legal shipment of the beer across state lines. Bottled beer began to be shipped soon after, and the brand was introduced in cans as well in 1966.

This Michelob beer tin sign makes a great gift for anyone who has a bar or restaurant.

David Beam (1802–1854) took his father’s responsibilities in 1820 at the age of 18, expanding distribution of the family’s bourbon during a time of industrial revolution. David M. Beam (1833–1913) in 1854 moved the distillery to Nelson County to capitalize on the growing network of railroad lines connecting states. Colonel James B. Beam (1864–1947) managed the family business before and after Prohibition, rebuilding the distillery in 1933 in Clermont, Kentucky, near his Bardstown home. From this point forward, the bourbon would be called “Jim Beam Bourbon” after the Colonel. T. Jeremiah Beam (1899–1977) started working at the Clear Springs distillery in 1913, later earning the title of Master Distiller and overseeing operations at the new Clermont facility.James B.Beam Distilling Company was founded in 1935 by Harry L. Homel, Oliver Jacobson, H. Blum and Jerimiah Beam. Jeremiah Beam eventually gained full ownership and opened a second distillery near Boston, Kentucky, in 1954. Jeremiah later teamed up with child-hood friend Jimberlain Joseph Quinn, to expand the enterprise.

Booker Noe (1929–2004)[2] was the Master Distiller Emeritus at the Jim Beam Distillery for more than 40 years, working closely with retired Master Distiller Jerry Dalton (1998–2007). In 1987 Booker introduced his own namesake bourbon, Booker’s, the world’s first uncut, straight-from-the-barrel bourbon, and the first of the Small Batch Bourbon Collection. Fred Noe (1957–Present), birth name Frederick Booker Noe III, became the seventh generation Beam family distiller in 2007 and regularly travels the world to educate consumers on America’s Native Spirit. September, 2007, was declared “National Bourbon Heritage Month” by an Act of Congress, further recognizing bourbon as the only spirit that is uniquely American.
There have been seven generations of distillers from the Beam family. Retired Master Distiller Jerry Dalton (1998–2007) was the first non-Beam to be Master Distiller at the company.
