Zang’s Brewery Beer – C. Reverse: The Water Used in Zang’s Beers… Clear crystal mountain water…. Our wagons pass your door daily. Serve Denver Beer and help Denver. The brands are: Columbine / Vienna / Pilsner. More about Zang below. Publisher: San Francisco: Edward H. April, 1911 – Classical “Roman” / “Greek” goddess type whimsical artwork: dancing nymphs. NOTE: this series of calendar postcards was also used by: Buffalo Brewing Co. Zang: Philip Zang came to Denver in 1870 – a few years after the Civil War – having run the Phoenix Brewery in Louisville Kentucky for 16 years. His gold mining career in Leadville lasted about a month. Soon he found himself back in the more palatable environment of Denver, running the Rocky Mountain Brewery for a “Capitalist” (his official title) called John Good. Within a couple years, Zang bought the brewery from Good and soon increased its capacity ten-fold. From then until the complication of Prohibition in 1920, Zang Brewing Company was the largest beer producer west of the Missouri. Philip died in 1899 and an impressive memorial marks his grave at Denver’s historical Riverside cemetery. According to the American Breweriana Journal, memorabilia from Zang Brewing is highly prized to collectors because of the company’s historical significance and their very cool-looking advertisements. Carol Turner’s Colorado History site: Philip Zang soothed the Wild West with his brew.
