In 1857, Charles Stegmaier set up shop in Wilkes-Barre, PA. He started with a bottling business and by the turn of the century had the largest brewing business in Pennsylvania outside of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.The sudden announcement in 1974 by Edward R. Maier, great grandson of Charles Stegmaier, that the Stegmaier label was sold to Lion, Inc. of Wilkes-Barre sent shock waves through the brewery’s work force. The Company’s financial situation was known to be deteriorating, but the notice of sale still came as a surprise to most. text from: stegmaierbrewery/history/
