Breweries
Newark was known for the quality of its water which attracted many German breweries and soda manufacturers to Newark. My Father worked as a salesman for Pabst Beer in Newark on Grove St for decades. Its landmark Pabst Tower was always seen from the Garden State Parkway. Earlier it had an incarnation as Hoffman’s Ginger Ale when I was in grammar school. My Father was able to buy wholesale bottles that were too full, not full enough, or if a label was missing as an employee.
He later transitioned from Hoffman to Pabst and I have archival artifacts from Pabst in my archives in Newark.
