From "American Brewers Review", October 1902 - "The new brewery of the Butler Brewing Co., of Butler, which was financed in Pittsburgh, will have the capacity of 100,000 barrels a year. A site has been selected extending 400 ft. along the Bessemer and the Pittsburgh and Western Railroad, 140 ft. on Shore St., and 400 ft. on Negley Ave. An ice factory will be run in connection with the brewery. The plant is to be in operation by June 1st, 1903. The president of the new company is David Smith, of Tarentum; Secretary, H. W. Klein, of Allegheny."
I just recently discovered the Butler blog. Grew up in Butler and left in 1959 when I went to college at Indiana. My dad worked for the Butler Stamping Company and for a period of time they used the old brewery building for there manufacturing operation. They made stamped steel toys and also Shade King All Aluminum Awnings. Have not been able to return for several years but still have occasionally seen one of those awnings on a home.

Does anyone know when the Butler Brewery ended production?
According to the Internet, Butler Brewery was around from about 1902 - 1920.
