My Dad was just talking about this beer over Christmas dinner. He was saying that ‘its not around anymore’. One of many small PA beers that I used to get an occasional sip from as a kid which are no longer ‘around’.

Erie Brewing (Erie Beer) became Koehler Brewing. Recently found GREAT family provenance from Erie newspaper… will need to look up dates, etc. but VERY EXCITING.

Comment on Dry Yeast v. Liquid Yeast by Bruboy555

I am very glad I happend along and found this thread. My brother always uses liquid yeasts, and had been urging me to do so as well. I resisted mostly because of the price, but was swayed by his assertions that the liquid yeast made a “cleaner” beer. I have used a few liquid yeasts, mostly White Labs for Octoberfests and some Wyeast for Belgian Abbey, but was not totally convinced I could tell the difference between them and my good quality dry yeasts. I will say this, the liquid yeasts I have used have uniformly been very good, while some of the low buck dry yeasts have had some poor performance in terms of attenuation at least. I think the dry yeasts like Danstar Nottingham work well for beers up to about 6% ABV, while the Wyeasts liquid strains seem to be a bit more tolerant of high alcohol levels. For most mid range beers, I think dry yeasts are fine. I think going forward I will save the liquid yeasts for my high gravity brews.

Thanks for spending some time on this and keep up the good work.

Erie is my home town and i worked at the Koehler Brewery in 1964. The brewery itself was on the west side of State Street and the bottling plant was across the street on the east side. When the brewery was originally built it had a large carved wooden eagle on the roof that supposedly came from Germany. That eagle was obtained by the local Eagles club (FOE)and sat in the lobby of the club for years. My sister and i used to climb on it. It was that big. The FOE is gone and the eagle has disappeared. I’d love to know where it ended up.
