Sorry, this item has sold.

  • Details
    The Hartmann & Fehrenbach Brewing Co.
    Wilmington, DE

    This is a rare bottle from the 1800s in amazing condition. There are a couple of minor imperfections which are common with a bottle this old. A hair line in the front of the glass just above the logo (Picture #8) and some bubbles in the glass are visible.

    Bottle stands 10 inches tall and weighs 1.1 pounds.

    This is a rare find and a piece of brewing history.

    A little bit about the company:

    Hartmann & Fehrenbach Brewing Company was founded by John Hartmann and John Fehrenbach, German immigrants and brothers-in-law. After emigrating from Germany in 1849, Fehrenbach learned the art of brewing in Philadelphia, where Hartmann owned a wine retail shop. Both men and their families eventually made their way to Wilmington, where they were active in the German-American community, including the Delaware Saengerbund and German Library Association. At the same time, lager beer, a traditional German favorite, had become hugely popular among American beer-drinkers, so perhaps it comes as no surprise that, in 1865, the two men went into business together, establishing the Hartmann & Fehrenbach Brewing Company. Located at the corner of Lovering Avenue and Scott Street in the city's Forty Acres neighborhood, the business grew rapidly as Hartmann & Fehrenbach's Brandywine Lager Beer gained a reputation for quality and purity.
