| | Chapter VII. The Rise of Lager Beer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | Lager beer, as a product of American industry, although introduced, as has been intimated, about the year 1842, did not gain popular favor until the decade following its introduction; nevertheless, all authorities agree that it tended even at that time to impart a strong impetus to brewing. |
 | | Did we not live in an enlightened age, the mystery in which the origin of American lager beer is shrouded might add another legend to the many mythical tales which, variously colored by different nations, are current concerning the father of real beer. |
 | | Frederick Lauer, who himself brewed lager beer in 1844, the honor of having first brewed the famous drink of today belongs to one Wagner, of whom it is said, that, shortly after his arrival in America, in 1842, he set up a lager beer brewery in a small building situated in the suburbs of Philadelphia. |
