Tru-Blu
Company Names, addresses, dates: 1
Northampton Brewery Tru-blue, 4th & Channing NE (1936-1939)
Notes:
Tru-blu was a beer company in Northampton Pennsylvania. They had a
bottling plant in Washington DC. I'm not sure I have all the years
listed above - most of my DC directory searches have been concentrated
on local breweries, not bottling plants for out of town breweries.
