The Bradford Brewing Company
August 26, 2007
Recently we were asked:
“Do you have any history about the Bradford Brewing Co.??
About 30 years ago while Deer hunting with my son in Allegany State Park we found a beer bottle that stated Bradford Brewing Company, Bradford, PA. At one time just about every city int the United States had a brewery. I am familiar with Bradford, PA as I was born and raised in Olean, N.Y., but in 1963, we moved to Rochester, N.Y.”
The Bradford Brewing Companywas established in 1899 and operated until it declared bankruptcy in 1914. In 1925 the abandoned brewery was the scene of a gangland slaying. You can read more about it at the Bradford Landmark Society’s site.
