Schaefer Beer and how it relates to our vom Saal family history

Original Schaefer Brewing Company, 19th and Broadway, 1842

Schaefer Brewing Company

The Schaefer Brewing Company was founded in 1842 by Frederick and Maximilian Schaefer.  The company made Schaefer Beer and at one time was one of the largest brewing companies in the country.   Max Schaefer was my great-great-grandfather.  Information includes:

  • some photos of Max Schaefer.
  • a brief history of the Schaefer Brewing Company that includes a few main dates and events.
  • a description of the relationship between Max Schaefer and the vom Saal family.
  • a book about the history of the company that was published on its 100th anniversary in 1942.

Further description and information here needs to be edited.  For now:

I have sketched a brief history of the Schaefer Brewing Company, founded in 1842 by Frederick and Maximilian Schaefer. It Includes a few main dates and events, and also a description of the relationship between Max Schaefer and the vom Saal family.
