Kurt and I went down to the south side to pick up a case of Filbert's Root Beer. Filbert's opened for business in Chicago in the 1920's, during prohibition. We met Ron, the owner and grandson of the original owner, and he was gracious enough to show us around the back of the house. The machines used to clean the bottles, cap them, and label them, were really interesting! They were all machines from the 1950's, as they try to preserve the art of making root beer.
