The Meister Brau beer bowling team struck a pose at the lanes. The team included, from left to right, Dave Wallers, Ed Brosius, Brian Hirner, Dave Juric, Sonny Jovanovich, Paul Krumske and Frank Purpura. Notably, Ed Brosius and Paul Krumske are United States Bowling Congress Hall of Famers celebrated for their exceptional contributions to the sport. Sponsored by Chicago-based Meister Brau beer, a brand founded in 1891, the team represented a beer synonymous with working-class tradition and community.
