Just a few years ago, the term ‘microbreweries’ was used to refer to what we now call ‘craft breweries’. This term was used to distinguish small-scale brewers from ‘macro’ brewers. The pioneers of the micro revolution were two breweries — the Boston Beer Company, which produces the beer Samuel Adams, and Sierra Nevada. Both breweries were some of the earliest adopters of the hallmarks of craft brewing and achieved success regardless of their small production scale.
John B. Wager, August Becherer and Henry Hilgefort opened the Lager Beer Brewery about 1854. It was located on the southeast comer of Hickory and Brown Streets. In 1859, August decided to try it alone and bought out his partners. In 1861, Becherer took on Henry Hussmann as a partner and changed the name to Ohio Brewery. Three years later Hussmann had had enough and left to open a grocery store. August tried again, taking on Phillip Ritter as a partner in 1868, but it only lasted two years. He finally found a lasting partner in Frank Becherer, who became part owner in 1870 and stayed with the company until it was sold to Michael Seubert and Otto C. R. Wilke in 1879. August went on to open the Oakwood Brewery that same year and Frank went to work for August.
