r2014 (23 of 35)

Fritz Rahr is the founder and President of Rahr & Sons Brewing Co. and has studied brewing in Germany and at the Siebel Institute in Chicago. He’s a 5th generation brewer who comes from a family with more than 160 years of brewing experience in the United States. His great-great-grandfather, Wilhelm “William” Rahr, immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1847 and opened the Rahr Eagle Brewery, the first lager brewery in Wisconsin.

Fritz was the initial guiding force behind the opening of Rahr & Sons Brewing. He was instrumental in converting a warehouse into the brewery’s home base for operations; acquiring brewery equipment; providing sales and marketing direction and enlisting vendors to provide goods and services.

Today, Fritz has taken the brewery from its initial 3-beer portfolio – to now offering over 13 different varieties to choose from. From a Pale German Helles to a very robust Barrel Aged Old London Ale – Rahr & Sons Brewery has a beer for every taste!
