Today's Feature: Dick and Brothers Brewery
The Dick and Brothers Quincy Brewery, was founded in
1857 by Matthew, John and Jacob Dick.
These three brothers founded one of the largest
breweries in the United States, and in the early part of
the 20th century, Dick & Bros brewery was once larger
than Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis, Missouri.
When the Dick brothers built their original brewery, it
had an annual capacity of about 1,500 barrels of lager
beer; within the next 15 years, it would produce about
70,000 barrels.
Prohibition and finally the effects of WWII caused the
brewery to be auctioned off under bankruptcy in 1951.
