American Brewing and Crystal Ice Co.

1903-1916

by Dave Scafani

This Baker City, Oregon brewery was actually started in 1874 by Henry Rust, and was known as the Pacific Brewery. Its peak production was 10,000 barrels per year.

In 1903, Henry Rust, almost 70 years old, decided to retire, and sold the business to Reinhard Martin. The name was changed to American Brewing and Crystal Ice Company.

The brewery, located at Third and Dewey, was closed by state prohibition in 1916.
