Neuweiler Brewery
Neuweiler Brewery is a former brewery in central Allentown, Pennsylvania, built on its larger site starting in 1911. The complex includes several brick buildings: a six-story office building with granite detailing and a copper cupola, a brew house, storage cellars, a testing lab, and a garage for delivery vehicles.
Louis F. Neuweiler took over a smaller brewery in 1900 and soon began expanding onto a larger site. The business grew into one of the city's leading employers and produced several beer styles until it eventually closed.
The name comes from the family that ran the business across generations. The heavy brick walls and tall smokestack are still visible from the street and remind many locals of a time when this was one of the most active industrial sites in the city.
The buildings sit in central Allentown and are easy to reach on foot from nearby streets. The site is not open to visitors, but the brick facade, the copper cupola, and the smokestack are clearly visible from the sidewalk.
The brewery was among the first in the country to sell beer in cans, starting in 1935, which changed how people bought and stored it. Years before that, during Prohibition, it kept its doors open by switching to soda production until the ban was lifted in 1933.
