 Brewer/bottler #1753 | | | Name | High Rock Ginger Ale Co. (Baltimore, MD) |
| | Address | Use for all post-1947 High Rock crowns if bottler not shown. |
| | | | | | | | Extra info | H.R. Nicholson developed a ginger ale recipe at the request of a independet Baltimore bottler Louis A. Fine, who was looking for both a golden and pale dry ginger ale to sell through small 'ma and pa" stores, the beverage was called HIGH ROCK ginger ale; a 24 oz bottle sold for 10 cents. In the 1930s, High Rock was the largest selling ginger ale in Baltimore.
When High Rock's bottling company was passed on to son Albert Fine, a bad business advice spelled disaster for the brand. To save money and increase profit margins, Fine ended up switching to a lower quality of ginger ale extract from a different supplier. That decision spelled disaster for High Rock Ginger Ale and the company folded |
