Beer In Ads #1070: Wilkes-Barre’s Best

January 13, 2014 By Jay Brooks


Monday’s ad is for Lion Brewing, a.k.a. “Wilkes-Barre’s Best.” It was established in 1905, and I don’t know if the ad is from that time period, but it certainly looks like it.

    The Lion Brewery’s still around, too. Never had any of their beers (sold under the Lion’s Head and Stegmaier brands) but am happy they’re still brewing.
