Rock Island Brewing Co. – IL 344e

Rock Island Brewing Co. started doing business circa 1930 and was in production until 1939 which means they operated for around 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. This listing was active during Prohibition which makes it an oddity. Some breweries were able to stay in business by producing "near-beer" which was very low alcohol, some switched over to bottling sodas or other beverages, some became Ice-houses or other related businesses. Rock Island Brewing Co. was located in Rock Island, IL, which only had 4 breweries, so there are not many that that were producing breweriana items. Local collectors may pay a small premium over national or general collectors because of a lack of local items.

• Address Information: 701 30th St at 7th Ave
