Utica Club Created History

Let's go back in time. December 5th, 1933. This date will forever be marked as the day prohibition was repealed. West End Brewing Co. was the first brewery in the country to have a license, and the first to legally sell beer. So Utica Club was pouring all over the region:

There was a big parade that started at the brewery and ended at the Hotel Utica where people enjoyed pints of the first legal beer to be poured in the country, Utica Club."

More than 85 years later, Utica Club is still going strong.
