DID YOU KNOW?
The Walter brothers, Johannes, George, Martin, Christian and Matthaus, emigrated from their hometown of Bergfelden, Germany and eventually settled in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Their father was a cobbler, family legend. He had them expand on their knowledge of the brewing trade at Miller in Milwaukee before striking out on their own. The Walter brothers founded their Wisconsin brewery in the 1870s.
The company began brewing in Pueblo, CO starting in the late 1800s. One of the Walter brothers, Martin, decided he was going to set out to California and open a brewery of his own. While he was on the train ride to California, he had a stop in Pueblo, Colorado. When seeing how prosperous Pueblo was, he decided to buy Pueblo's largest brewery on the spot, reportedly for only $7000, therefore expanding the family business west word. Brewed with clean Colorado water, the company supplied brews under dozens of labels in more than 20 states and became a Pueblo legend.
