Beers--1860's - 1870's BEEFY ALE - Midwestern ??

Didn't last long at this common ale price. New owner (and repeat buyer) reports: "Hi Wil, I got the bottle today and was really stunned by how nice it is! This bottle was made for Horace M. Martin, who manufactured his "Celebrated Star Cronk Beer" beginning in 1872 in Minneapolis. There is a copy of an 1873 ad in (Feldhaus) book and it shows he even made a bitters! It says the beer is very popular in the warm weather months. Minnesota has several squat ales, but they are all rare. I really appreciate adding this ale to my collection. Thanks for shipping it out right away and for insuring it!
