Robin himself is drawing his longbow right at you, bearded and squinting down the arrow in a green hood and a russet tunic, out in a sunlit forest, with Robin Hood Beer in big red Old English letters across the trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis company was started in 1906 and is one of the few that survived prohibition. This label is from the few short years it was produced in OH. Most of the labels you see out there are from later when they moved to PA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🏷️ What's Printed on It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCONTENTS 12 FL.

The company made it through Prohibition as The August Wagner and Sons Products Company, and afterward sold its beer in Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia under the Augustiner, Mark V, Robin Hood and Gambrinus names. A statue of King Gambrinus stood in front of the brewery for years, and August Wagner himself is credited as the model for it. It still stands in the Brewery District.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1970 Wagner bought The Little Switzerland Brewing Company of Huntington, West Virginia, closed the Huntington plant in 1971 and moved production to Columbus, and the Columbus brewery itself closed in January 1974. The Pittsburgh Brewing Company bought the brand names and kept on selling Mark V, Robin Hood and Gambrinus, which is why so many of the Robin Hood labels you'll see come from Pennsylvania.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e🏡 Display\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey aren't making any more vintage labels once the limited supply for sale is gone and on display with collectors or in galleries then they will be very difficult to acquire.
