Potosi Brewery, Historical brewery in Potosi, United States
The brick building houses both a functioning brewery and the National Brewery Museum, displaying extensive collections of American brewing artifacts and memorabilia.
Founded in 1852 by Gabriel Hail and John Albrecht, the brewery grew to become Wisconsin's fifth largest producer before closing in 1972.
The National Brewery Museum features over 2.5 million dollars worth of artifacts, including vintage bottles, cans, and equipment from American brewing history.
