Beer brewing has a long history in Jordan, dating back to at least the 1860s. Of course, prohibition put a stop to all brewing activity in 1920. Like many small town breweries, the Jordan Brewery never really recovered from prohibition. Brewing started and halted under many different changes in ownerships from the 1930s through the 1960s, but never really operated for a lengthy time at full capacity. In this age of micro-brews, it may again be operational one day, but don't hold your breath.

Train tracks are featured on the other side of the left field fence--which in fact is exactly where I stood to take this photo.
