I have a Peter Hand beverage company bottle that was hand blown and has a hand applied top. It has the word root on the bottom of the bottle, does that mean it contained root beer? Thank you in advance for any answers.
The correct address for Peter Hand Brewery was
1000 W. North Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60622
I have a Peter Hand “Reserve Beer” Globe Bar Lamp
Dimensions: 20 inches high
5 inches at base
7 inch diameter globe
I can’t seem to find anything on this!
Why does it seem that no one ever talks about the devistating Peter Hand Brewery fire. I remember answering the phone call that told us there was a fire and my father was burned badly in it. My father is still alive still carrying the scars, and the trauma of the event.
The man responsible for the fire felt so much remorse, after he came to see my father in the hospital, he took his own life and committed suicide because he was told my father would not survive. A senseless death, my father did survive. That fire was the real ending of the Peter Hand Brewery.
Hi David,
Longshot that you’ll see this, but I’m doing some research into people who worked on the Clybourn Industrial Corridor and I’d love to hear more about the fire and your father’s experience at Peter Hand if you’re willing to get in touch!
