PERU – The Peru Public Library has added a beer bottle collection to its historical archives. Granville resident John Shimkus donated his collection of Star Union Brewery bottles and other memorabilia spanning the Star Union Brewery’s 100-year history. A sampling of beer bottles, ice picks, coasters, bottle openers, and other brewery memorabilia are on display at the library. The brewery began in 1845 and remained open producing beverages until 1966.
