Thanks to Sam Talley who notes: "The Aberdeen Brewing Co. opened in 1901 and closed during Prohibition in 1920. It re-opened as the Old Pioneer Brewery in 1933 after Prohibition was repealed. It remained operating until 1944 at 408 S. Lincoln St. in Aberdeen. During WWII, there was a bad shortage of brewing ingredients, glass, and bottle caps, as well as labor, and the brewery never re-opened. The building burned down in 1963."
