Balt, I'm a beer geek and just about every "craft" brewer is located in an industrial unit. And, once you've seen one, you've seen them all. Still worth visiting for the beer, though. Historic breweries are as interesing as historic rail facilites, hotels and ball parks. Historic slaughterhouses should be avoided.

The area where this craft brewer is located is just 1/2 mile from where the former Carlings Black Lable brewery was located adjacent to the Baltimore Beltway. In the day, when Carlings was brewing, the aroma of the area left no doubt, however the Carlings plant was demolished about 30 years ago and has been replaced by a wholesale building supply outfit.

Located in "downtown" Sawyer MI, with a view of CSX's Grand Rapids sub.

BaltACDand endangered creatures - Baltimore once had maybe 10 brewerys, now there is only one 'craft' brewer and they are located in a industrial park outside the city limits.
The natty boh sign still blinks at you, though.
It's been fun. But it isn't much fun anymore. Signing off for now.

Natty Boh is a point of civic pride and was brewed by National Brewing Co. in Baltimore; now it is just one of the brands being peddled by Miller-Coors these days. Natty Boh, until this year was sold at all concession stands in Oriole Park at Camden Yards, now, because AB-Inbev got the Orioles adult beverage concession a civic fight had to take place to force the sale of Natty Boh at a single specific concession stand in the park.
I'll admit I had to look him up. Not being a beer drinker, it looked like the Pringles guy to me at first.

"Brewed on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay!"
And it sure is better than that Wicomico beer!
Nice photos, thanks. Judging from the cars in the last one especially the Hudson, I'd say it was about 1949.
Looks like my old 40 chevy on the far left of the last photo. It was 29 years old when I had it. I wasn't even a thought when it was new.
edit, nope, a closeup looks more like the post war version. Head lights are in the fenders not on the fenders.
I find the aerial shots fascinating. Note the lack of parking compared with what you would see today. Odds are the workers either walked (note the row upon row of flats), or rode the streetcars, one of which can be seen in one shot.
