Giants of brewing history: Frederick and Maximilian Schaefer

Lager Beer | For this installment of “Beer Giants”, we return to the USA but open our story in Wetzlar on the River Lahn in Hesse, Germany. This is where the lives of two brothers commence. In contrast to the big names in American brewing, such as Anheuser, Busch, Coors or Miller, today their names are only known to brewing industry insiders. And yet these two men from Wetzlar are universally recognized as having made invaluable contributions to the US brewing industry.
