Ballantine Beer CO.
My Grandfather and Father both worked for the Ballantine Beer CO. , in Newark N.J. , for over 30 years , they were machinists. We lived across the street from the plant for many years. The plant closed in 1971. In 1971 I was in VietNam and my entire pay check minus $50 was sent home while Dad looked for work. Both my Grandfather and Father have passed. I have not drunk a Ballantine Ale in over 34 years. I thought when they closed the plant that was it. At the campout Andy said he could buy Ballantine Ale in MA. Last night two six packs of Ballantine Ale showed up at my door and are in the frig now. Going to put one can by my Dads picture and tonight Opa , my Dad and I (the new Opa) are going to pop the top of some Ballantine Ale for the first time in a long time. Thank you Andy. Damn sandstorms
