I remember it well. My grandmother lived at 246 E. 94th St., down the block from the Ruppert Brewery's garage. Knickerbocker Beer, Jacob Ruppert Ale, Ruppiner Dark Beer, and Knickerbocker Bock Beer were the products. I have been collecting NYC beer advertising nearly 35 years. Ruppert sold out to Rheingold Breweries in January 1966. It was sad to see Manhattan's last large-scale brewery go out.

You bet I remember! But does anyone remember the monsterous billboard they had over one of the harbor docks. Or is it still there today? Now I'm downloading a copy for my homey at work. Keep coming with the trivia.
