For your consideration is this collection of five (5) vintage Grain Belt Beer glasses with various logos from different time periods. The Minneapolis Brewing and Malting Company was formed on July 15, 1890, through the merger of The Germania Brewing Association, the Heinrich Brewing Association, the F. D. Norenberg Brewery and Malt House, and the Orth Brewing Company. The Minneapolis Brewing and Malting Company was headquartered at Orth Brewing. Some beer continued to be produced at the Germania and Heinrich plants. In 1893, Minneapolis Brewing and Malting Company became the Minneapolis Brewing Company. In the same year, Minneapolis Brewing introduced Grain Belt Beer, a Golden Grain Belt Old Lager that quickly became the flagship brand for the company. In 1967, Minneapolis Brewing changed its name to Grain Belt Breweries after its purchase of the Storz Brewing Company of Omaha, Nebraska. Two years later, Grain Belt acquired the New Ulm brand from the Hauenstein Brewery. Grain Belt's signs appeared at the stadiums of the Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings. Attempts to add new brands to the line in 2001 failed. Sales diminished. Minnesota Brewing ended production on June 24, 2001. Ted Marti of the August Schell Brewing Company purchased the Grain Belt brands. Grain Belt re-entered the market introducing new brands. The smallest beer glass shows the WWII era logo with the bottle cap as the background with a red sideways diamond reading, "Grain Belt Beer". Beneath the logo is the slogan reading, "The Friendly Beer". The next three larger glasses all feature the same graphic with the sideways red diamond reading, "Grain Belt Beer" with the slogan right beneath it reading, "The Friendly Beer". The small “M” at the top is the logo for the original brewer: The Minneapolis Brewing Company, which was founded in 1890 and began brewing Grain Belt three years later. The last and tallest glass shows a rendition of the WWII era logo with the bottle cap background and a skinnier sideways red diamond reading "Grain Belt" and the slogan beneath the logo. All the glasses show good condition with no signs of damage or wear present. The smallest glass measures a diameter of 2 3/8" and 4 1/4" H, while the largest one measures a diameter of 2 3/4" and a height of 5 3/4".
