Fauerbach Brewing Company
Fauerbach Brewery was a family-owned brewery for over 4 generations, located in Madison, Wisconsin on the edge of Lake Monona. A small regional brewery that produced lager beer. Deliveries were made by horses carrying kegs. Just about the Civil War time railroads came through Madison and so beer deliveries expanded along western and northern rail routes. The first brewery buildings included saloon, residence for family, workers, and a barn. By 1905 a new brewery was built on the same site. It lasted until 1967.
