McHenry Brewing Co. – IL 275g

McHenry Brewing Co. opened in 1934 and closed in 1943 it was open for 9 years. This brewery was open for quite a few years so it is easier to find items and advertising than some breweries that did not last long, this can make the Breweriana items less valuable. Breweries that started up right after Prohibition was repealed, up to around the 1950s are the last group that represent highly collectible and valuable Breweriana for the most part. The period after Prohibition was when cans became popular so some of the rarest and most desirable cans come from this period. For cans to be very valuable they need to be rare, and in very good condition in most cases. Our information indicates that McHenry Brewing Co. was the only brewery that was located in McHenry, IL sometimes this means that items from a brewery will have extra value in the area it comes from because there are not other sources for local breweriana.
