    Many years ago by wife bought me this puzzle at a yard sale. It was already old then. I came across it the other day and thought it might make a good discussion thread. What memories does this spark?

    20 years ago this represented craft beer in New England. The copyright date on this thing is 1994. Sorry for the poor picture, this is my 5th photo attempt with a lot of enhancement work. I tried to find an image on the web and only found one listed on eBay with a picture worse than mine.

    Form the top left the Breweries (and other businesses) pictured are:
    John Harvard's, Martha's Exchange, Samuel Adams, Harpoon, Andrew's, Cambridge Brewing Company, Geary's. Commonwealth Brewing, next row, The Vermont Pub Brewery, Mill City, Sunday River Brewing co. , Bar Harbor Brewing Co. and Soda Works, next row, Otter Creek, Magic Hat, Gritty McDuff's, Sea Dog, next row, Atlantic Coast Brewing, Catamount, Modern Brewery Age (magazine?), Katahdin Beers (Casco Bay Brewing), next row, Woodchuck Draft Cider, Jasper Murdock's Alehouse, Crosby and Baker Ltd., Stout Billy's, next row, On Tap (official guide New England), Windham Brewery, Yankee Brew News, Pilgrim Ale, next row, Hartford Brewery Ltd., New England Brewing Co., Ipswich Brewing Co., Ould Newbury Brewing Company (their spelling), final row, The Brewery on Martha's Vineyard, Elm City, The Shipyard, Union Station Brewery, Cape Cod Brew House, Portsmouth Brewery, Plimoth Rock Ale (their spelling).

    Ah, Tremont Ale and Catamount were my favorite beers when starting to get into craft late in college. That's when Harpoon IPA was an extreme beer to me!

    i have an older craft brewers guide (early 90's) and it's amazing to see who came and went and who stuck.

    The same outfit, White Mountain Puzzles, also used that graphic for an oversized 6' X 9" postcard (below) and a $8 2' X 3' poster.
