Anyone else have a "beer" card?

So I picked this up in REA 3 or so years ago. Among the M101-4 backs is the Indianapolis Brewing company. So this is technically a "beer" card, I guess? Are there any other sets that have backs featuring beer, liquor, soda pop, etc?

I should have been more specific, looking for pre-war only.

I'll have to look into the Yuengling's, those are 1928, right?

Yuenglings had better not been brewing beer in 1928. It was against federal law.

Yes, during Prohibition Yuengling's went into the ice cream business to stay in business...Here is a Yuengling's Gehrig with some other similar types...They were much better known for their beer than their ice cream.

Over the Years came across many Team Photos that were Beer premiums from Gunther beer 1925 Pirates to Balentine ale Yankees early 50's , The Schaffer Beer 1955 Dodgers cutout to Falstaff Giants late 50's early 60's. In the early 90's Bud light produced a series of small posters and the Gehrig was kinda nice.

I live about 45 minutes from the Yuengling brewery in Pottsville, Pa. During prohibition, the company switched over to ice cream manufacturing (while still producing "near beer"). Given where I live, I am embarrassed to admit that I didn't realize until perhaps six or seven years ago that the Yuengling's ice cream set was actually produced by the Yuengling brewery during prohibition.

Grew up about 20 minutes from Pottsville myself. And unlike many that others that "converted" from beer to ice cream during prohibition, Yuengling still made ice cream into the mid-1980s.

I have several of these Ballantine Coasters. A few years back, I even found a variation of the Warneke/Mancuso (shown below). I try to buy them whenever I see them for some reason. I just think they are cool.

Not pre-war and not a card, but still my favorite beer item.
