That website isn't frequented too much. Good site. The place is surprisingly intact. At least about a year ago it was.

Glad it arrived safely!
well, the total no. of pallets is up to 8! so thats 8 pallets x 80/cases ea. x 24 bottle/case=15,360bottles! (not counting the incomplete pallet) & we found a buch more of the plastic "Pop-Shop" cases, hopefully our friend at twigs beverages can put these to good use.

the capper, still full of bottle caps (crowns) do you see the giant 220 volt bug zapper in the upper/rear portion of the picture? I'd like to have had that in my back yard this summer!

and the case filler, it would take the bottles 24 at a time & drop them down to the case to be filled below, then the case would roll of to the warehouse, but that part of the line has been removed, sold for scrap...this equipment is still all functonal too, the water pumps & carbonator have been disconnected from the line, for all of you dispencer guys, they trashed a bunch of pe-mix fountains too, all were working with roll around stainless bases/self refrigerated & held four pre-mix canisters & the CO2 tank for special events, etc. & they scraped about 1000+ of the pre-mix tanks/canisters themselves...

Thanks both of you for sharing the pictures.
JohnieG- Everything looks like it's in good shape. How long ago did they close up?

glassbottlesrule-
do you know if they are going to keep that sign on the side of the building or tear it down, it seems it would be a shame to tear it down, those types of signs are what give small towns their character

Well the labeler (put the bottling date on the bottles) was last set at 6-94, & there are a bunch of syrup concentrate 1 gallon jugs in the store room with an expiration date of 10/96, this would suggest mid-1993 to early-1994, the bottles that were left inside the washer are brown 12oz. glass longnecks & the bottle-crowns in the capper's hopper are labeled for "Big Buck Beer" , so it looks like that was the last run on the line, taking into consideration maybe a 6 month expiration date on the beer.
