One of my readers submitted the photo you see above. While not winning any awards for an imaginative choice of
name - the Independent Milwaukee Brewery was founded in 1901 more than several
generations behind the founding of Milwaukee’s earliest breweries.
Located on the South Side near the corner of
13th and Cleveland the best-known brand of the brewery was Braumeister. As a matter of fact five different versions
of Braumeister were brewed. The company
also produced at least another dozen brews including Deutscher Club Lager and
Log Cabin Beer.
In 1962 the company was
sold to G. Heileman of La Crosse and the Milwaukee brewery was closed. The Braumeister label was later sold to Peter
Hand Brewing Co. of Chicago, which continued making and selling Braumeister
until 1998.
I thought my pal Braumeister
would be interested in this walk down memory lane. It’s probably a good thing there aren’t five
versions of him. That would be difficult
to handle.
