This photograph taken in 1879 shows the Metz Brothers Beer Hall. The Hall was located at 510-512 South 10th Street. The beer was brought to the hall in kegs by horse drawn wagons as seen in the photo. Charles and Fred Metz supplied the beer hall from their brewery established in 1860. The Metz Brothers Brewery was headquartered at 6th & Leavenworth streets and took up nearly a full city block. The main building was a 3-story affair crowned with a large observation deck. The rest of the complex consisted of boiler and engine houses, offices, ice houses, bottling facilities and barns for the horses. The malt house had a storage capacity of 4,000 bushels. Metz Brothers beer was famous for its “flavor, purity, amber, clearness and body” (“Frederick Krug,” p. 9). Unfortunately, the Metz Brothers Brewery did not survive Prohibition. The majority of the land was sold to the Corn Derivatives Company in January 1920.
