Storck Brewery on November 19, 2001 |
The Storck Brewery in Slinger traces its history back to the Benedict Kornburger Brewery of 1868. Lehman Rosenheimer acquired the brewery in 1870. In 1877 Charles Storck and William Hartig acquired it and it became the Storck & Hartig Brewery. Hartig’s name was dropped from the company name in 1884. One of the products produced by the Storck Brewery was Slinger Beer.

The brewery operated until 1958, surviving prohibition by making ice cream and bootleg beer, and supplied the Milwaukee Brewers stadium during the 1953 Milwaukee brewery strike. The former brewery property is now used by Blaine’s Auto & Truck Parts.
