| Abstract | Lehman Rosenheimer came to the village of Schleisingerville, Wisconsin, in 1856. He bought a brewery in 1870, which was bought by H. Charles Storck and William Hartig in 1877. "By 1895, Storck's beer became so popular, he sent it as far as Stevens Point, Wisconsin, by rail.... The Storcks fought off competition by introducing Slinger Beer, the name the village would change its name to in 1921." During Prohibition the Storck brewery publicly shifted to producing ice cream, although beer was still secretly manufactured. "The brewery was forced into involuntary receivership during September 1958." |
