    Fred Koch Brewery Uniform Patch - Dunkirk NY - 1970's Era
    This is a 1970's era uniform patch from the Fred Koch Brewery in Dunkirk, NY, it features their signature logo of the period.  It is approximately 5" x 7", and came off an old uniform.
    In the 1980's Koch's was absorbed by a larger (Genesee) brewery ending a brewing tradition that Dunkirk, NY enjoyed for over 100 years!
    Koch's was one of the thousands of small community brewers that dotted the landscape and then disappeared in the face of competition from the major breweries. Today these little companies would be called micro-breweries and they would be experiencing a resurgence. Since the brewery closed memorabilia has continued to become harder to find.
