With great respect for the old traditions of brewing. Our master breweruses advanced brewing techniques to produce a consistent and high quality beer.
In 1880 Joseph Wacker turned over his Eagle Brewery to his sons, Charles V, and Joseph, Jr. After a mysterious fire, the Wacker Brewery was rebuilt and by 1904 had more than tripled in value. In 1956, unable to compete with large and modern breweries, Wacker closed its doors. In 1959, most of the property was demolished to make room for a parking lot but the saloon has remained as the Little Dutch Café. When Wacker Brewery brewed its last Little Dutch and Old Bohemian beer, brewing in Lancaster County came to an end for quite some time.
Lancaster can be credited with having produced more beer than any other American city of similar size in the last century. Lancaster’s beer and breweries have all disappeared with the exception of one. Today, the Lancaster Brewing Company on the corner of Plum and Walnut streets, is the only brewery in Lancaster City, reviving once again the great Lancaster beer brewing tradition
