Guest writer’s articles: “Modern Brewery Character Steins (charted.)” – by Jerry Berg

Corona Octopus Character

Jerry Berg , of the “Carolina Steiner’s” (and SCI)  recently came to a “Gambrinus Stein (Collecting) Club” meeting held in Maryland  and gave an excellent talk on newer Brewery Character Steins. I asked him if I could publish his well documented handout, and he agreed. Thanks again go to Mr. Berg for all he has  done for beer steins collectors in the USA.

I will provide the chart in it’s entirety and then break up the sections for a more readable view. Perhaps some more photos of these character steins will appear when I find them and the time to post them.  (These  chart photos were done from a photo of the hand-out page, which is why they are not as clear as they ought to be.   (sls )
