Wagner Brewing Co. opened in 1933 and closed in 1938 it was open for 5 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. 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. Our information indicates that Wagner Brewing Co. was the only brewery that was located in Granite City, 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.
