Wisconsin Breweries History: Oshkosh Brewing Beer
The Oshkosh Brewing started in 1866 on the shores of lake Winnebage as the Horn & Schwalm brewery. It became the Oshkosh Brewing copmany in 1894 and was closed in 1971. The brewery's main product was Chief Oshkosh Beer. Chief Oshkosh was born in 1795 and died in 1858. The chief was involved in major events, including treaty settlements, military activities and the case of the lost Partridge child. When the Oshkosh Brewing Company closed on on October 18, 1971, the Chief Oshkosh, Badger, Rahr’s, and Lebrau brands were sold to The Peoples Brewing Company that was also located in Oshkosh. On November 8, 1972 The Peoples Brewing Company halted beer production and in 1973 the company’s assets were put up for auction. |
