Bemidji Beer (1904)

First Brew of German Champagne Will be Made at Brewery Soon.

Contractor Greenlaw Hurst arrived Saturday night from Wadena to put the finishing touches on the Bemidji brewery. Work has been suspended for some time. The cement floors are yet to be laid and the machinery to be put in position. The opening of the brewery depends largely on how soon the floors can be put down and the machinery placed in position. The plant is one of the finest in the state and the equipment will be put in by an expert. The first brew of Bemidji beer will be made within a few weeks, however. The trademark of the brand will be a likeness of Chief Bemidji. (Bemidji Daily Pioneer, Mar 1, 1904)
