Brewery description
On July 15, 1890, The heads of four brewing powerhouses, Orth Brewing Company, The Heinrich Brewing Association, F.D. Norenberg Brewery and Malt House and Germania Brewing Association, consolidated to form the Minneapolis Brewing and Malting Company. With the formation of the new company, primary headquarters was at the Orth Brewery, although beer continued to be produced at the Heinrich and Germania plants as well. For the company to be competitive, however, it was realized that production needed to be consolidated in one high-volume facility to produce at least 150,000 barrels a year.
