"Pittsburgh Brewing Company developed other products including producing ice cream, soft drinks, “near” beer, and operating a cold storage business. They operated as a subsidiary under the name of Tech Food Products Company, allowing them to emerge from prohibition.
Tech Food Products was bought by the Borden Dairy Company in 1945." |
