I began collecting a number of years ago out of interest in my families history. My GG Grandfather was Wenzl Medlin, a noted Brewer and brewery owner from the Cleveland, Ohio area. He worked in many large Breweries across the Northeast United States and was the founder of the Pilsener Brewing Company of Cleveland, Ohio. He was an emigrant from Mecichov, Czech Republic and learned his trade in the great brewing city of Plzen. Feel free to browse around and if you have any "Pre-Pro" paper to trade or sell please email me.
