The New Brewing Association.

 The Georgia Brewing Association, a new concern, has purchased the plant of the late Wolters Brewing Company on Bay street, and will take active possession on March 20. This association is composed of individuals and firms in this city and abroad, of such commercial strength and character as will insure a most successful future for the new enterprise. Mr. George Meyer, who is general manager of the association, has been identified with the beer trade for may years and needs no introduction to the public.
    Mr. Meyers is to be complimented on the happy and successful outcome of the difficulties that beset the old Wolters company, which led to the formation of the Georgia Brewing Association.
    The new association is the sole wholesale dealer in the city and vicinity for the world-renowned Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association's famous Faust and Budweiser beers. They have also introduced for the first time in this market the great Anheuser-Busch beer that captured the highest gold medal at the Chicago Exposition last fall, namely, the Premium Pale. This beer is the perfection of the brewer's art; is of a beautiful pale color, resembling the celebrated German Moselle wine. Its alcoholic strength is said to be the highest of any beer made to-day, while its nutritive quantities are of the very highest, as the great St. Louis Association are well known to be the leaders in their line, and do not use substitutes for malt and hops in their beers. The Premium Pale is destined to become a popular beer, and is sure to be a s special favorite with the ladies. Mr. Meyer, with his usual forethought, has looked out for the interests of his patrons for the summer months, and has brought a large supply of the famous Kennebec river ice, the purest, most solid and best obtainable, and the customers of this association are fortunate indeed in the prospect of plenty of good, cheap ice this season. Mr. Meyer has purchased the Styles property, corner Bay and Abercorn streets, adjoining the present plant, thus giving a frontage on Bay street of 110 feet and a depth of 90 feet, this affording a most commanding location. The new association proposes in the near future to erect brewery buildings on this splendid site that will be a pride and a credit to them and their section of the city. Under the able management of General Manager George Meyer, backed by a solid board of directors, a bright future is predicated for the Georgia Brewing Association.
