Eastside Brewery, formerly Los Angeles Brewery, then later Brew 102

1933, A horse-drawn wagon carrying barrels of Eastside Brew is seen here at the Los Angeles Brewing Company. A man is seen sweeping dust off the backs of the two horses.
The Los Angeles Brewing Company, also known as Eastside because it was located east of the LA River, was founded in 1897 and became a major brewery in Los Angeles. Renowned for its Eastside beer, the company adapted during Prohibition by producing non-alcoholic beverages. After Prohibition ended, it resumed brewing but eventually ceased operations in the mid-20th century. In 1953, the brewery was acquired by Pabst Brewing Company, which continued to use the Eastside brand for a time before phasing it out.  from Water & Power.  Thanks to Jack Feldman for this pic.
