| Abstract | From the Foreword: "This book is more a personal and social account of the brewers themselves than a physical and technical description of their respective breweries. . . . the following is preponderantly genealogical, historical, and sociological, detailing where these people came from--with whom, why, and when--and the socio-cultural, material, and often political roles they assumed as the brewers of beer in the tiny villages or small towns of an evolving Dodge County." Includes breweries that operated in Farmersville, LeRoy, Mayville, Huilsburg, and Theresa. In Farmersville the brewery was run by Georg Schmid and his family, and it was often locally referred to as Greinerschmid's Brewery. In LeRoy names associated with the brewery were Kohl, Weidig, Platzer, and Seifert. Mayville boasted several breweries, owned or operated by Germans with names such as Bachhuber, Boehmer, Darge, Funke, Kohl, Kroesing, Mayer, Steger, and Ziegler. Huilsburg had the Herman Brewery, founded by John and Jacob Huels; other names associated with that brewery are Thielke, Scharmann, and Eifert. In Theresa there was the G. Weber Brewing Company. Other names associated with brewing in Theresa are Nenno, Bandlow, Quast, Asenbauer, Luhn, Hanna, Chemer, Reimer, Radtke, and Lemke. |
