Paterson Consolidated Brewing Company is a conglomerate brewery that came about in 1890 with the union of five breweries Braun Brewery, Sprattler & Mennell, Graham Brewery, The Katz Brothers, and Burton Brewery after an English syndicate offered to buy them out. [1]
Founded by Christian Braun in 1855 on the corner of Braun and Marshall Street in Paterson. The brewery was very successful and even leased its space to Sprattler & Mennell. When Christian died in 1876 his sons Christian Jr. and Luis took over. At its peak it was producing 6,000 barrels a year. [2]
German immigrants Gustav Sprattler and Christian Mennel formed Sprattler & Mennel in 1870 while leasing space from Braun Brewery. In 1876 they moved to their own location on Marshall Street all the way to the Morris and Essex canals. Gustav died in 1885 and Mennel became sole owner. At their peak they brewed 40,000 barrels a year. [3]
James Graham worked at several breweries for over nine years before opening his own brewery in 1887. His brewery was located in the center of the city at next to the New York, Lake Erie & Western Railroad. [4]
The Burton Brewery began as Katz Brothers, founded by Philip and Bernard Katz in 1877. The original location was on the corner of Godwin and Bridge Street. The Katz Brewery was very successful, but their operation was inadequate; however, they lucked out when Burton Brewery, one of the largest breweries in the state, went up for sale. The Katz Brothers purchased Burton in 1882. The Burton XXX, Morlein's Premium, and Canada Malt Ale were distributed around the country. In 12 years Katz Brothers had grown to 130,000 barrels a year. [4]
In 1890 the four breweries came together after an English syndicate offered to buy them out. The negotiations ultimately failed, but it still brought the four brewery owners together and made them realize the advantages if they united. The president was Bernard Katz, VP Philip Katz, second VP James Graham, Christian Mennel Treasurer, Luis Braun Secretary, and Christian Braun as Head Brewer. [1] The firm ceased operations in 1920 when prohibition in the United States went into effect. [5] Sprettler & Mennel attempted to revive the brand in 1939, but were not able to maintain a foothold and ceased operations in 1941. [6]

Beer is produced through steeping a sugar source in water and then fermenting with yeast. Brewing has taken place since around the 6th millennium BC, and archeological evidence suggests that this technique was used in ancient Egypt. Descriptions of various beer recipes can be found in Sumerian writings, some of the oldest known writing of any sort. Brewing is done in a brewery by a brewer, and the brewing industry is part of most western economies. In 19th century Britain, technological discoveries and improvements such as Burtonisation and the Burton Union system significantly changed beer brewing.

The production of beer in New Jersey has been in a state of recovery since Prohibition (1919-1933) and the Great Depression (1929-1945).

The growth of the microbreweries and brewpubs since the 1990s has been aided by the loosening of the state's licensing restrictions and strict alcohol control laws, many of which were a legacy of Prohibition.

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has one major brewery and dozens of microbreweries, and is home to several iconic beer brands from a variety of brewers. It has had an association with beer throughout its history, with the brewing industry getting its start prior to its official founding as a city and was nationally recognized as such by the end of the 19th century. This heritage can be found explicitly in its Major League Baseball team, the Milwaukee Brewers, and on recognizable beer brands such as Old Milwaukee and Milwaukee's Best. This recognition of Milwaukee as a brewing hub dates back to the early 20th century, and boasted the world's largest brewing capacity as late as 1981. The city is nationally recognized with the nickname "Brew City" due to its nearly two centuries of brewing heritage from multiple past major brewers including Miller Brewing Company, Pabst Brewing Company, and Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company. Today, through the ownership of MillerCoors, the city's largest brewery produces 10 million barrels of beer annually.
