Maier Brewing Company
Los Angeles, CA
1907-1972
   From the LA Times: "In 1972, the suds of Brew 102 stopped flowing in Los Angeles. The huge copper kettles from the city's oldest brewery -- kettles the employees used to fill with water and swim in when the week's batch of beer was done -- were abandoned. The building became an unofficial refuge for the homeless for 13 years. The pots and kettles that were not stolen were sold for scrap before the buildings were torn down in 1985 for a parking lot."
