Gessell Brewery opened in 1933 and closed in 1933 it was open for 0 years. This listing was active during Prohibition which makes it an oddity. Some breweries were able to stay in business by producing "near-beer" which was very low alcohol, some switched over to bottling sodas or other beverages, some became Ice-houses or other related businesses. Gessell Brewery was located in Manistee, MI, which only had 2 breweries, so there are not many that that were producing breweriana items. Local collectors may pay a small premium over national or general collectors because of a lack of local items.
- Other Notes: Brewery was licensed, but never actually Brewed Alcoholic Beverages
