That's a great and fun kind of question, it's late got to hit it early tomorrow, could go on about this, but since a young kid, between the antiques I found in our old barns and big ole victorian house, part of our barn was used for a beer distributorship from a brewery in the city. Where I'm from, all the farmers would bring their goods from here to the city, the state road was a wagon trail, the old photos are really interesting. I used to find all kinds of brewery related items, and other great finds, I have a McCormick-Deering horse drawn cultivator that is in really nice shape, I rescued it from our barn.
I even found the metal sign with the brewery's name on it, I've always wondered if it was actually hung on the brewery or was just used for the distributorship here, we had a cooler room like a butcher shop, got locked in there once too, good thing dad coverted it into an office, and there was a phone in there !

Some of the best days of my youth were spent rummaging through an old farmers dump, and other places where things were dumped, me and a childhood friend, everyu chance we had, we'd spend all day in there, diggin, turnin things over, in our own little world, found some great bottles and have some fun memories of re-living the past.
