In 1933 Prohibition ended in the United States and the Falstaff Corporation became the Falstaff Brewing Corporation and in turn were granted Federal Permit #1 to resume the brewing of beer to the delight of many brewing enthusiasts. In 1934 they landed a contract to be the beer that was sold in Sportsmans Park home of the St. Louis Cardinals and Browns. In 1941 Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Dizzy Dean began broadcasting both St. Louis Browns and Cardinals games on the radio with the primary sponsor Falstaff Beer. Dean was a natural and soon became a national sensation. Falstaff at one time was one of the top consumed beers in the United States. They ceased operations in 2005.
At one time The Falstaff Brewing Company had their own museum. This one of a kind art piece originates from that museum and is stamped on the frame Property of Falstaff Museum. The piece has been painted and some of the images glued onto it. The artwork is in the original frame and measures 17 x 32 inches. There is some toning to the artwork and wear to the frame. Awesome one of a kind display item. A truly unique Dizzy Dean piece of artwork!
