#pothbrewery

Established in 1865 by Frederick August Poth, F.A. Poth Brewing Company had its beginnings in Northern Liberties before moving to Brewerytown in 1871. At its peak, the company produced around 180,000 barrels of beer per year. Sadly, the brewery didn't survive prohibition, and shuttered in 1936. The building, however, still stands at 31st and Jefferson.
