From the Bakersfield Californian:
Given the city's reputation for not preserving its old buildings, people Sunday were only surprised that the demolition of the Bakersfield Brewery Co.'s brick building on Union Avenue hadn't occurred sooner.
All that remains of the 101-year-old building is a few walls behind piles of rubble.
The building, which once stood four stories tall and included an office tower, was considered among the most modern breweries in the country when it was built in 1912.
Its finest beverage was Lion Brew, the crafting process helped in part by a deep water well on the 1.25-acre site.
