 | | It was not the Germans, but Welshmen, who started the first brewery here in 1840, but German brewers soon assumed a dominant position in the industry, and they were responsible for the Biergarten, the brewery parks, and the annual picnics, concerts, and Saengerfests at which beer drinking and Gemuetlichkeit were inseparably linked. |
 | | The second brewery in the city, and the first one to brew lager beer, was appropriately started by a German, Hermann Reuthlisberger (Reutelshofer), in the spring of 1841. |
 | | Then there is the South Side Brewery, with a capacity of 100,000 barrels per year, and the bottling department, where over 200 hands bottle nearly 15,000,000 bottles of beer per annum, where railroad and lake facilities for shipping are not equaled by any other establishment in America. |
