Reader and prize-winner Chad forwarded me some pictures from a visit to F.X. Matt in Utica to check out the place and give the brewery some support after their near calamitous fire in late May. I like this one the best. The brewery was called the West End Brewing Company in 1888 and appears to be the third name for the operation after the now more familiar F.X. Matt and Saranac monikers.

I just found a Utica Club Pilsener Lager tray in my parents basement. "The West End Brewing Company" "Utica, New York" ....Is this of interest to anyone?
