This is one of the original labels used by the Colfax Brewery Co. with the Martha Washington rock as their trademark. Otto Hoefle came to Colfax in 1911 to help his brother Max run the Colfax Brewery. They would make deliveries in buckets to different groups called beer klatchs. The brewery was on the north end of Main Street with an estimated 12 employees, all men. One of the horses used for delivery liked to drink beer, so after the deliveries were made the men would pour beer into a tub for him. Beer sold for 25 cents a gallon, and 50 cents for a 3 quart boxed package. The brewery was closed due to prohibition in 1920. Source: Colfax Gazette - August 1977.</div>
