Its hospitality room was constructed to appear as a local bar for the movie "F.I.S.T." (1978) starring Sylvester Stallone. It also appeared in "Take This Job And Shove It" (1981).<br />Much of its later history was committed to producing <i>contract beers</i> for would-be brewing entrepreneurs. We would occasionally get a beer brewed there at our <b>Annual Beer Tasting at the United Soccer Boosters' Convention</b> circa 1992-1995. The last corporation to operate the brewery was the one which also owned <b>T.G.I. Friday's</b> restaurants.Steve D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12337124618723219550noreply@blogger.com
