& 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. |

Above, a
American Brewery ad ( AKA The John F. Wiessner & Sons Brewing Company
) circa the early 1900's. Much of the complex is gone, but the centerpiece
building still stands on North Gay Street. To the right, an ad by Fred
Bauernschmidt for Keg Customers, circa 1914. Below, a few of the
labels used over the years.

| Arrow
Beer Globe Brewery Baltimore Maryland 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. ... |
