 | | However, it appears that it was not until the mid-1820s, after the completion of the Ohio and Erie Canal through the village, that a large wooden barn-like building was built at the west end of what is now known as 5th Street, to house the village's brewing operation. |
 | | The brewery was operated for profit in later years, with much of the beer sold to guests at the bar of the Zoar Hotel in town, as well as the one other tavern in the village. |
 | | A company was formed by William Schuster, formerly of the Massillon brewery, and A. Weitz of Cleveland, with the intention of building a new plant with a five-story brewhouse in the village. |
