Beer is in Chip Echnoz’s blood. His family owned a small brewery in Meadville, Pennsylvania in the late 1800s and a prize in his collection is a bottle from that brewery, labeled with his last name. It took Chip 32 years to find the artifact he didn’t know existed, and which is believed to be the only existing example.
That unique bottle is just one of hundreds of rare brewery pieces on display in a special building on Chip’s property. The structure houses a grouping of breweriana that is truly spectacular in quality and quantity. Chip has painstakingly built what is believed to be the finest collection of breweriana from Western Pennsylvania ever assembled.
