Baltimore & Beer  

  In our quest of Baltimore History, Kilduff's realized we had to do a page on Baltimore Beer . We are missing a lot and ANY help, suggestions, comments, would be greatly appreciated !!!
    Baltimore has quite a history when it comes to making beer. The best remaining example of that history is the old American Brewery Building on North Gay Street.  I remember first seeing the building in the early 1980's from a distance, and when I finally pulled in front of the building, I was amazed to see such a wild old building still standing in Baltimore. The building is in a area of Baltimore not considered too safe these days, and with property values not high in the area, the building has escaped the " let's tear it down " attention so many other buildings in Baltimore have gotten over the years. Just how long that luck holds out is another matter.

    In In East Baltimore City and visible from all over the City, is the American Brewery Building . Long since abandoned,  there are again active plans to convert the building into residential use. Below left, a interior photo shows the machinery inside the brewery , circa the 1930's. The other photos below show the building as it looks today, vacant but in good condition on the outside.

    Kilduff's has just added information on Arrow Beer , which was produced by the Globe Brewery Company in Baltimore. To the right, a Arrow " Bock Beer " , and below, the label for "Arrow Premium Beer ".. On the  right below, a ad from around 1914, for a Arrow Beer " Kaiser Roof Garden " , which could be located at the corner of Madison Avenue and West North Avenue. I have a feeling as World War I came in to place, the Kaiser Roof Garden either closed or changed the name.  ...

Kilduffs started out as a survey of Baltimore Movie Theatre Buildings, circa 1900-1950. We have since moved on to other styles of buildings around Baltimore.  This is always a " work in progress " , and as the information comes in , it will be posted.
