there's smoke, there’s furor.
Nothing upsets our head brewmaster more
seeing someone smoking in the brew
r. He has nothing against smoking, mind
In fact, he likes nothing better than a
good cigar with his beer after dinner. Why
No Smoking, then, especially in a building
that's about as fireproof as a building can get?
Well, it goes back three generations to Fritz
Sick, the first of his family to; brew in this

country. He believed that if smoke got into
the beer during the brewing process, it would
alter the flavor. (He picked up that piece of,
information from some old-time, old-world
brewmasters.) Therefore, he refused to allow
one whiff of smoke any place near the vats.
Fritz §ick was right about smoke and its
effect So, today, even with our modem brew*
mg equipment, we still follow the old rule: No
Smoking. We’ve even gone,so far as to build
the power plant smoke stacks extra high so
the smoke would drift harmlessly away. And
if ow personnel want toamoke, they gq out-;
side—to the downwind, aide of the bowery*
So if you ever come to visit

You'll have a better glass of
beer for your small sacrifice.
