The Chicago Ale and Malt Company.—Our city has won a wide reputation among the considers of malt beverages, for the quality of its products from several well known establishments. Probably no better ale is made in the country than in Chicago. The Chicago Ale and Malt Company have within the past few months purchased the extensive Brewery premises of John O’Neill on the lake shore at Cleaverville, and have already established for their manufactures a permanent and growing favor and demand. Their ale is by good judges pronounced among of the finest and purest in this market. Their establishment is in charge of a practical brewer of large experience, and celebrity, and the utmost pains to secure a pure and choice article will bs taken. The office is on Dearborn street near South Water, (the old American Express office,) but the ale is drawn largely by at his saloon in Loomis’ Building on South Clark street. The Company in question, principal among whom is H. G. Loomis, Esq., have gone into the manufacture with plenty of capital and every prospect of success to be derivable from results thus far.
