The Buffalo Brewery, 21st Street, Sacramento, California
"In 1890, Buffalo Brewing Company began brewing beer in Sacramento. At one time, the Buffalo Brewery was the largest brewery west of the Mississippi with distribution throughout the western U.S., Hawaii, Alaska and even Central and South America. The company shut down beer production at the onset of Prohibition and resumed again when the 21st Amendment was ratified. During Prohibition, the brewery survived by brewing ‘near’ beer and soft drinks, as well as producing ice for local distribution. Ultimately, Buffalo Brewery closed its doors for good in 1942, and the historic brewery building was demolished to make room for the headquarters of the Sacramento Bee newspaper..."
