Potomack Brewery started doing business circa 1793 and was in production until 1796 which means they operated for around 3 years. Breweries that are only open for a couple of years like this did not have a long time to produce advertising and collectibles so they tend to be more scarce than breweries with more longevity. As a Pre-Prohibition Brewery, any advertising items or collectibles are likely to be valuable and desirable to collectors as they tend to be hard to find. Potomack Brewery was in an active brewing city. Alexandria, VA was listed as having 11 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.
- Address Information: At the public warehouse foot of Oronoco St at the Potomac River
