USING YOUR MOBILE DEVICE ON THIS WEBSITE

Certain parts of this site have been designed to be more accessible for anyone using a mobile device or smartphone, including the Home Page, all the main tabs and everything in Breweriana. However, the History periods in particular, which essentially comprise a book, are best viewed by computer, laptop or pad. Especially if you may be visiting this brewery, the links below provide more information about certain items that are part of the exhibit.

Advertisements Telling the History of the Brewery

Much of the history of the brewery can be found through mostly newspaper ads, or the shows Bavarian sponsored, which are presented as follows:

1880s - 1919:  Before Prohibition.

1935  -  1945:  After Prohibition and before WWII.

1946  -  1956:  After WWII through the mid 1950's.

1957  -  1966:  After the Bavarian's modified their name - until they closed.

There is an exhibit of Bavarian's Newspaper Ads showing selected ads from the last three periods above that is located on the second floor of the Kenton Co. Gov't Center South Building, outside the Riedlin-Schott Room. Other on-line presentations related to these ads are:
