Neuweiler Brewery
Neuweiler Brewery is a historic brewery in Allentown, Pennsylvania, built at its larger location starting in 1911. The complex included several structures such as a six-story office building with granite and copper cupola, a brew house, storage cellars, a testing lab, and a garage for delivery trucks.
Louis F. Neuweiler acquired a smaller brewery in 1900 and expanded it significantly. After moving to a 4.5-acre site in 1911, the brewery became one of the city's largest employers and produced various beer styles including Light Lager, Cream Ale, and Porter.
The name comes from the family who founded and ran the brewery. The buildings with their solid brick walls and tall smokestack remain part of the city's character and remind people of when this place was a major employer in Allentown.
The buildings are located in central Allentown and visible from the street. Access to the site is limited as it has not been fully developed for visitors, but the exterior facade and smokestack can be viewed from outside the property.
The brewery was among the first to can beer in 1935, revolutionizing how people could buy and carry it. During Prohibition, it survived by switching to soda production, allowing it to continue operations until the ban ended in 1933.
