About Pacific Coast Breweriana

Pacific Coast Breweriana is a business run by one of the, if not the most noted expert US domestic beer related antiquities, Bill Mugrage. Due to Bill's extensive contacts in the industry, our specialty is hard to find pieces such as neon signs, and other beer advertising memorabilia. If you are looking for a specific item, you can also e-mail us directly. We will let you know if we have it, or think we can find it, for you. Bill offers a free online appraisal service - while he can't give you an exact value, he can offer an opinion as to it's general value based upon description and photos.

I collect all Washington State and Rainier San Francisco prior to 1960, and will pay a fair price for items I need.

I will also give free estimates on all United States breweriana. If you have a piece of breweriana and would like and estimate as to it's value at not cost, please contact me.
