On the topic of Prior beers:

There is a local (to me) brewery, Von C Brewing, which was started by three brothers with connections to Schmidt’s brewery:

A new brewery that has a "back then" aspect to it is Von C Brewing in Norristown, PA. The brewery was opened by three brothers who have ties to the old Schmidt's brewery in Philadelphia. The three brothers are Jay, Frederick (Rick) and Eric von Czoernig. You can read about their family history here:

I had the pleasure of drinking a beer they branded as Prior Preferred Czech Pilsner which I thought was very good – excellent:

I once asked Jay is they have any intentions to brew a Prior Double Dark beer but he kinda hemmed and hawed about that. I still have my fingers crossed that they may ‘resurrect’ this beer.

Cheers!
