Art's Ashtabula and Conneaut,Ohio Beer Collecting Page
 
 
I have been collecting beer advertising from Ashtabula and Conneaut, Ohio for over 25 years and decided to move some of my collection to the internet so that I could show it off.
I am always looking for any Ashtabula or Conneaut, OH beer advertising to add to my collection. The most well known Ashtabula beer was Bula Beer, brewed by the Consumers' Brewing Co. Other beer brewers and bottlers from Ashtabula include Andrew Dalin, B. McGarry, Ashtabula Brewing & Cold Storage, and The Independent Brewing Co.
I am looking for any advertising items or history from Ashtabula and Bula Beer, especially paper labels, photographs, glass or metal signs and trays. I also buy old beer cans, bottles, and signs from other breweries. If you have anything you are willing to sell or know someone who does:

Many out of town breweries had agents and bottlers for their beer in Ashtabula. Dalin bottled for Leisy of Cleveland. B. Mc Garry bottled for the Leonard Schlather Brewery of Cleveland. Jackson Koehler's Erie Brewing Co. had a big presence in Ashtabula with a distribution branch located there. J.H. Liebman was the agent. The largest Koehler Conneaut agent and bottler was T. A. Quinn, on Harbor Street near the NKPRR tracks. Other bottlers operated on Washington St. Jackson Koehler had a stable behind the Cleveland Hotel and owned several saloons and properties in the Conneaut Harbor area as well.
Numerous breweries from Cleveland, Cincinatti, Toledo, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and other cities all had bottlers and agents in Ashtabula advertising and selling their brews.
