Buffalo Bill does it again
At his age, other will seriously consider retirement. Not Bill Owens, American photographer, brewer and publisher extraordinaire. When In 1983 he opened Buffalo Bill’s Brewery, his was the first brewpub in the nation. Three years later he bought a small magazine, "Home Fermenter’s Digest", merged it with "Amateur Brewer" and renamed it "American Brewer". Years later he received a phone call and was told there was another publication which used the same title, "American Brewer". Bill told the caller that this had to be a mistake as he owned the trademark. Indeed, the original "American Brewer" was published for 108 years, from 1850 until 1958.
When he bid farewell to his loyal readers last year, Bill had published more than 90 issues of "American Brewer" over the course of 17 years.
