Daily Alta California – 25 February 1882
\nBEER<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Its Use Increasing in the United States \u2014 Surpassing Excellence <\/strong>
\nof the Product of the Philadelphia Brewery of this City.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gradually the consumption of beer increases in this country, and
\nwhat formerly was almost an entirely national German beverage, is
\nbecoming the national beverage of the United States, and is rapidly
\nsuperseding stronger alcoholic beverages. From the days of ’49,
\nwhen the first insignificant structure was erected in this city to
\nbrew the foaming beverage, new buildings of like character have sprung
\nup from time to time, and the amount of capital employed in the
\nenterprise has largely increased. Beer, which was under the especial
\nprotection and supervision of King Gambrinus, as stated in the runes
\nof the German folk-lore, has found, in this country, among all classes,
\nmany strong supporters who look with favor on the benificent beverage,
\nand remark, with Hamlet, ” This liquid likes me well.”
\nOn this subject Americans and foreigners concur. The brewing interest
\nhas become an important part of our commerce, and the amount of capital
\ninvested in the business is enormous. Immense quantities of barley and
\nhops are consumed by our breweries in the production of beer. There are
\nin this city thirty-four breweries which place their products upon
\nthe market. As gleaned from the tax-list at the United States Internal
\nRevenue office, the names of the different breweries, together
\nwith the amount of barrels of beer sold during the year ending
\nDecember 31st, 1881, are as follows:
\nThe Philadelphia Brewery heads the list with the enormous quantity of 59,182 barrels ;
\nChicago Brewery, 23,537 ; Hibernia Brewery, 20,526 ; Washington Brewery, 18,068 ;
\nNational Brewery, 16,225 ; Albany Brewery. 16,594; United States Breweiy, 14,713 ,
\nEmpire Brewery, 12,941 ; Jackson Brewery, 12,913 ; San Francisco Stock
\nBrewery, 12,062 : Lafayette Brewery, 10,519; Humboldt Brewery, 8787;
\nWillows Brewery, 7656 : Enterprise Brewery, 7117 ; Bavaria Brewery, 7077 ;
\nPacific Brewery, 6626 ; Mason Brewery, 6219; Eureka Brewery, 5274;
\nUnion Brewery, 4447 ; Hayes Valley Brewery, 3857 ; Broadway Brewery. 3608 ;
\nMilwaukee Brewery, 2768 ; South San Francisco Brewery, 2072 ;
\nRailroad Brewery, 1935 ; Golden City Brewery, 1381 ; Tivoi Brewery, 1240 ;
\nPioneer Brewery, 1031 ; Presidio Brewery, 713 , California Brewery,
\n713 Albion Brewery, 619. North Beach Brewery, 430 , Phoenix Brewery, 178 ;
\nEuropa Brewery, 178 ; Columbia Brewery, 161, Besides these the Fredericksburg
\nBrewery at San Jose sold 12,593 barrels, and the Boca Brewery at Boca about 15,000.
\nIt will be seen bu the list that the Philadelphia Brewery, owned by John Wieland,
\nfar surpasses all its numerous competitors in the manufacture of beer, the
\nproduct being almost equal to the quantity brewed by the next three
\nlargest breweries in this city. Mr. Wieland has always led in the business,
\nand by the admitted excellence of his beer will always continue to do so. Mr. Wieland’s
\ntrade is not confined to this city alone, but extends to all parts of the state,
\nand large daily shipments by railroad and steamer attest unmistakably that
\nthe excellence of the Philadelphia beer is widely appreciated by all classes of consumers.<\/p>\n
