Griesedieck Brothers Brewery

Griesedieck Brothers Brewery is an American brewing company based in St. Louis, Missouri. Its official website describes a family brewing legacy spanning nine generations since 1711, when Johann Heinrich Griesedieck brewed his first batches of beer in Oelde-Stromberg, Westphalia. The family moved to St. Louis by the 1870s. The Original Griesedieck Brothers was created in 1911 by Henry Griesedieck Jr. for his five sons, after he split from the Independent Breweries Company. The company states that its previous brewery grew rapidly in the post-war era, reaching well over 1 million barrels by 1953 with at least a nine-state distribution, and that today's brewery is more humble but continues to produce beers.
