Christmas Greetings from Ballantine! Do not hesitate this time ! This is my last bottle of the Burton Ale; from the 1946 brew ! You are bidding on: A rare, unopened bottle of Ballantine Burton Ale; which was brewed on May 12, 1946 and bottled in November of 1960. For many years, Ballantine's President and Vice President brewed, and bottled, a Christmas Burton Ale. The Ale was given as gifts; and was not sold to the general public. On this bottle's label it reads: " Special Brew " and " Not For Sale ". Each year, Ballantine dedicated the Christmas brew to someone special. On this bottle, it states that the Ale was " Brewed Especially For Mrs. B. Vasiliow on May 12, 1946 and Bottled November 1960". Mrs. Vasiliow owned a distributorship of Ballantine beer, in Rockland County, New York from the 1940's thru the mid 1960's. I believe that she was the first woman to have ever held such a position with Ballantine. Mrs. Vasiliow was a pioneer! She was a woman who successfully held such a position with Ballantine, that had only been held by men, up until that time. I am personally proud of Mrs.Vasiliow as she was my Grandmother. As stated, this bottle is unopened and both the label and cap are in good condition. The cap has red and green lettering and all words are still visible. The label is Not torn and features a holly wreath around
