Eureka Beer

Public domain image (Freeman, A Brief History of Butte, 1900), scan by Butte Public Library
I've been working on a map of historic breweries in Butte, for our own Quarry Brewing. Found a great advertising line from the Butte Brewery, which stood on North Wyoming Street where the Motel 6 (Capri Motel) is today. In 1917, when Montana's prohibition law had been passed but was not yet in force, they promoted their Eureka Beer as "Liquid food for temperate people."

    Is it a euphemism for the Walkerville end of Beef Straight Gulch, up by the Ryan Mine? Or does it just refer to Daly Street? :)
