We do not know exactly the dates of opening and closing for this brewery, but it most likely picked up after Western Brewery - MI 16a in Unknown and was succeeded by Jacob F. Beck & Bro. Brewery - MI 16c in 1874. These types of unknowns are usually caused by poor record keeping from periods around Prohibition or other turbulent times. Fred Kiln Brewery was in an active brewing city. Ann Arbor, MI was listed as having 8 breweries, which is quite a few. Sometimes a large number of breweries can lead to an active collecting community that will be willing to pay more for breweriana items than other collectors.
