Champale



Champale
A Champale Label. It mentions that it is made in Trenton.
I remember the funky smell that sometimes came from their
South Trenton Plant back in the day:)

Mack:
Prior to being Champale, it was the home of the Trenton Old Stock Beer.

Hi Mack: Trenton Old Stock beer was one of the places that my brother Chuck worked when he was home from school. The other place he worked was driving the truck that sprayed for mosquitos in the summer. He always managed to find a way to earn a few bucks. While at Wake Forest University, he learned to play a bass fiddle and was with the orchestra and also waited on tables in the cafeteria. Regards, Ralph

"Funky smell" is putting it mildly...

This (the Champale part) may be one part of our history that we should tuck deep away. Plainly...it stunk.

Hey Guys I still remember the smell of those tomatoes on Lalor St. from Stokely's. What would be the summer air without them.

JoeZ:
I don't know when you left Trenton, but that Stokley's plant is now a high rise for senior citizens.

Joe B. It was closed when I left Trenton in 1990 I think.

the champale site is being developed with residential townhouse construction.

every native trentonian remembers the champale and stokely "aromas". especially, when the breeze was just right on a hot and humid summer day. all of south trenton would be filled with fermented malt and tomato vapors. it was a really unique and undescribeable smell.
