Our Rich History

The Master Brewers St. Louis District dates back to 1891, when the Fourth Annual Convention was held in St. Louis.

The Practical Brewer

In 1944, master brewers Edward H. Vogel, Jr., Frank H. Schwaiger, Henry G. Leonhardt, and J. Adolph Merten identified a need for a hands-on manual. Two years later, the first edition of The Practical Brewer was presented right here in St. Louis on December 7, 1946.
