Consumers Brewing Co started in 1895 and built a brewery in Rosslyn VA. In 1902, due largely to the high cost of building the brewery, it went bankrupt. Then it re-opened as the Arlington Brewing Co. If you compare the bottles shown below it appears that some of the bottles were the exact same size, style and color - the only difference being the name change from "Consumers" to "Arlington".

After prohibition closed the brewery down, it was bought by John E. Fowler, who moved his Richmond based Cherry Smash soda company to Rosslyn. In 1933, Dixie Brewing Corporatin was formed, but it doesn't appear that the company lasted long enough to brew any beer, and the building went back to producing Cherry Smash. The Brewery building was torn down in 1958 to make way for the Key Bridge Motel & Hot Shoppes Restaurant, which is now the Key Bridge Mariott Hotel.
