Pennsylvania Breweries History: Bavarian Brewing Company We have been told that this beer was brewed by either the Reading Brewery (A.K.A. "Old Reading Brewery") or the Sunshine Brewery (A.K.A. "Barbey's Brewery") in Reading PA. All the beer that was brewed in Reading PA between the 1950's and 1980's was brewered by either the Reading or Sunshine breweries. The label above falls into this date range. It does not have government warnings so it is before the 1980's and it has three colors so it is after the 1950's.
