Rheingold Snapshot
Don't call it a comeback; it's more of a revival. Regional brewer Rheingold, a widely available and popular beer in New York up until the 1960s, is once again gracing shelves from Brooklyn to Staten Island. The company had closed its factory down in 1976, after nearly a century of Rheingold beer. In 1999, chairman Terry Liebman revived Rheingold. The company has its beer brewed by the Matt Brewery in Utica, New York, and the Greenpoint Beer Works in Brooklyn. Drinks Americas purchased Rheingold Brewing in November 2005.
