This is a lot of fun. The first question is tough. Not sure where Cigar Store Indians are coming from as part of sales from the brewery. Also, “Near Beer” and “Beer for medicinal purposes” counts as one answer. There’s still one product the brewery produced and sold during prohibition that no one has answered yet.
Awesome prize

To be more specific, the ice was dry ice which they also provided a delivery service for, the indian logo was designed by DR. SUESS (Theodore Geisel)…so cool! And, the medicinal beer prescribed was their Porter! Also, early on, they had “a barn, a stable, a blacksmith, seventy-five horses, forty-five wagons, gas-powered trucks, electric trucks, twenty-five refrigerated train cars and [their] own ice plant!”
