New York Breweries History: F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company
"F. & M." stands for Frederick and Maximilian, the brothers who founded Schaefer which became the longest operating brewery in New York City, and the last operating brewery in New York City (as of 1976), and America's oldest lager beer brewing company. They were located on the East River and bounded by Kent Avenue and South 9th and 10th Streets from the year 1915 on to the closing in 1976. Schaefer's in 1971 built a brand new, ultra-modern brewery just outside of Allentown, Pa. The orriginal Schaefer brewery in New York closed in April 1976 and all operations were moved to the new Lehigh Valley plant in PA. In 1981, the F. & M. Schaefer Brewing Company was purchased by the Stroh Brewery Company which continued to sell Schaefer Beer until Stroh's was sold to Pabst Brewing Company in 1999. |
