Ohio Breweries History: Pilsener Brewing Company
The Pilsener brewery began production in 1892 and was known as the Medlin Pilsener Brewing Company. The Pilsener brewery's primary brand was called Extra Pilsener Beer which was later changed to P.O.C. The phrase "P.O.C." was a cornerstone in Cleveland's brewing industry for more than a half-century. Even today, many years after its disappearance from bar tops and beer stores, P.O.C. Beer still lingers in the memories of Clevelanders. Dubbed "Pride Of Cleveland" (not by the brewery, but by its patrons), the venerable brand was the city's top selling beer at various points in its history. Its maker, the Pilsener Brewing Company, occupied an enormous complex at the corner of West 65th Street and Clark Avenue, fondly known as "Pilsener Square." Although most of the brewery still survives, it stands quietly in decay and gives little sense of the high regard in which Clevelanders once held the beer brewed within its walls. |
