Meisterbräu was the famed flagship brand of the Peter Hand Brewing Company, which, when it closed in 1978, was the last active brewery in Chicago at that time. Before its collapse and after the acquisition of the brand by The Miller Brewing Company, Meisterbräu produced an abundance of point-of-sale advertising items.

This is what attracted Don to focus his collection on that legendary brand. It became a challenge to find most, if not all, of the items created. Don has met that challenge, as the lower level of his home exhibits a jaw-dropping array of Meisterbräu breweriana, in addition to a substantial beer can collection. Don’s “Meisterbräu Bar” is well known among collectors and is an ideal setting to enjoy a beer.
