Text from the bottle label: Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve Beer - In brewing Henry Weinhard's Private Reserve, we have made every effort to follow traditional methods as practiced in the nineteenth century by Henry Weinhard, the West's first brewer of premium beer. This is a true premium, "hand-made" in small quantities without regard for time or cost. We believe this beer to be superior to any other, and offer it with the same pride Henry had in the beer he served to his special guests and friends over a century ago. Brewed and bottled by the Blitz-Weinhard Brewing Company, Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington.
