Hutchinson Brewery made...

Back to page top

Hutchinson Brewery made strong beer, 8 percent alcohol, from about 1870 to the early 1920s. It was first owned by the Kliemann Brothers, and sold in 1905 to the Hajicek family.

The Leader was able to speak to decendent, John Hajicek. He owns an original label from a beer bottle. Other memorabilia likely exists including beer trays used for promotion. If any readers have artifacts from the Brewery, please contact the Leader. Or, post your information here.
