Illinois Breweries History: Atlantic Brewing Company The Atlantic Brewing Company at one time produced the Red Top Brewery brands (Red Top Ale, Red Top Beer, Barbarossa, 20 Grand Ale, Wunderbrau) after the Red Top brewery was closed in 1957. The Terra Haute Brewing Company first picked them up and then they were sold to the Atlantic brewing. The Terre Haute Brewing Company was once the seventh largest brewery in the United States, producing primarily lager beers with Champagne Velvet it's main brew. It was one of the few breweries to survive prohibition and grow to one of the top national brands. In 1958, at THBCo's peak, production was 1.5 million BBLs (about 46.5 million gallons) and employed 950. Later the THBCo was purchased by Atlantic Brewing Company, who closed the Terre Haute location. If you have any more information on the Atlantic Brewing Please contact us at: Contact US
