Embedded Files
Below is a list of strong ales and stouts brewed in the US after Repeal, collected in reaction to the claim by UK beer writer Pete Brown in the Oxford Companion to Beer that Ballantine India Pale Ale was "...one of the few characterful beers to survive into the post-Prohibition age" (page 485).
Omitted from this list - due to space limitations, if for no other reason - are the scores if not hundreds of porters, bocks, cream ales and numerous beers simply marketed as "ale" in the US.

New York state's Genesee Brewing Co's and West End (today's F. X. Matt) beer portfolio in the mid-1930's included several different ales. Genesee would also market a 9 Horse Ale and, later, Dickens Ale (a brand originally of the Syracuse Brewery, Inc. that Genesee created after buying the Zett's Brewing Company in the 1930's) and, in the late 1940's, a Cream Ale that predated the current one first released in 1960.
(above) Two Stock ales from PA's Adam Scheidt's Brewing Co. and (below) two of several ales brewed by Allentown's Neuweiler Brewing Co.
(below) Though inaccurate as far as the claim of being "the oldest brewery in the country", this distributor's ad for Albany NY's Beverwyck Brewing Co.'s STOCK ALE suggests it would have been brewed before full Repeal.
