This list has been created from my own travels as well as those of ABA members who reported finding surviving brewery buildings around the country. It contains a growing number of known brewery sites. Some successes are more dramatic than others, but I hope this list will become a living document. I encourage people to contact me with any additions, deletions or corrections: zymrgst@verizon.net
It's been nearly 20 years since I created this list and have many new ways to keep up to date. Notably American Breweriana Association Facebook group is a regular source of new entries. Also it has become possible to include in some cases, articles and video links which enhance the value of the list.
I have put question marks next to some sites were reported on many years ago, and may have met their fate. In addition, each site has been tagged with its American Breweries II number, which gives easy access to the "headstone information" of the company. I’ve tried to credit individuals but in some cases have only cited the source, mostly American Breweriana Association's American Breweriana Journal (ABJ).
