This wonderful red and white steel beer tray advertising Rheingold Extra Dry Lager Beer is marked: Liebmann Breweries Inc. / New York, N.Y. with the #8.
In 1850, Samuel Liebmann emigrated to the U.S. The family settled in Brooklyn and Samuel, together with his three sons, Joseph, Henry, and Charles, opened a brewery at the corner of Forest and Bremen Streets. The company was already flourishing by the time of Samuel's death in 1872. Working with Philip Liebmann (great-grandson of Samuel), Schülein developed a dry lager beer with a European character to be marketed under the brand name Rheingold. For thirty years, Rheingold Beer reigned supreme in the New York area, but by 1976, as a local brewery, it could no longer compete with nationwide companies such as Anheuser & Busch, Miller, and Schlitz, and its doors were closed. Only recently, using the same brewmaster, Rheingold is once again being sold in the tri-state area.
