    Heard recently that Millstream is getting a new bottling machine, so they will finally stop using their 1950s coke bottling machine!

    But not quite "continuously" :wink: - there's a 90+ year gap in there:
    The brand was founded then, the brewery didn't open until 1996 (all beer had been contract-brewed at F. X. Matt previously).

    If you want a pretty good/easy read about how we got from there to here i really enjoyed Tom Acitelli's
    The Audacity of Hops: The History of America's Craft Beer Revolution. Does a good job of placing a lot of these, its thorough but in no way complete all in a fun read.
