Brew House. . In 1890, Jacob finished construction of the Brew House. This brewery centerpiece remains standing today. Over the next few years, he added an icehouse, bottling house, cooper shop, and sheltering barns for the delivery horses. Future expansions would provide the brewery the necessary resources to thrive into the next century. In 2001, new brewing equipment was installed and the Brew House was refurbished. An addition was built in front of the original 1890 building to house the mash mixer, cereal cooker, and lauter tun, as well as a lab, material lift and stairwell. Two new brew kettles, a whirlpool and wort chiller were also added in the existing brew house building.
