Stegmier (1857-1974): regional brewery situated at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

William C. Kashatus, who teaches history at a local community college, tells the story of a defunct Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania business, Stegmier Brewery.  Established in 1857, it survived until 1974.  It was a regional brewery which sold beer throughout the northeastern states, but not a national brewery.  At its peak, it was the third largest brewery in the state and the twentieth largest in the USA.  For more, see here.
