Hi Listers, I have learned that my g.g.grandfather was a proprietor for the Excelsior Brewery in St. Louis. Has anyone heard of this brewery??? This would have been in 1876 or so. Thanks. Mary

Dear Mary, There were between 40-53 breweries in existence in the mid to late 1800's in St. Louis. I learned this doing some research on my great-grandfather who worked as a clerk in the office at the Lemp Brewery (strange family, the Lemps). A few of my other family members were listed as having been brewey workers in census info too. I vaguely remembered Excelsior as having been listed and looked it up again. Excelsor was in business from 1876-1899, after which time in was absorbed by St. Louis Brewers.
