International Union of United Brewery Workmen of America. p 58.〕 Krug was one of the "Big 4" brewers located in Omaha, which also included the Storz, Willow Springs and Metz breweries.〔Larsen, L.C. and Cotrell, B.J.

University of Nebraska Press. p 144.〕 Later sold to Falstaff in 1936, the facility closed in 1987. ==History== In 1859 Frederick Krug established the Krug Brewery with an original output of one and a half barrels a day.〔Schlüter, H.

In 1894 the brewery moved to 29th & Vinton Street near South Omaha. It cost $750,000 and was reportedly one of the best equipped breweries in the country.〔("Krug Brewery" ). Omaha Public Library.

Krug brewed beer under several labels: Fred Krug, Cabinet, and Luxus.〔Stanley, J.R., Kaye, E.R., and Bull, D.A.

Krug Brewery bought a park in the Benson neighborhood of Omaha in 1904, built a beer garden, added amusement rides, and renamed it "Krug Park". The park was successful until 1930, when a roller coaster accident killed four people; soon after the park folded.〔("Survivor recalls Krug Park tragedy," ) KETV.com. Retrieved 9/8/07.〕 The brewery stopped operating during Prohibition (1920–33),〔("American Beer History X" ). Retrieved 9/8/07.〕 and resumed operations in fall 1933 following its repeal. Three years later, the company was sold to Falstaff Brewing of St. Louis, Missouri, making Falstaff the first major brewer to operate separate plants in different states.〔("Falstaff Lemp Brewery History". ) Retrieved 9/8/07.〕 The plant ceased operations in 1987, and several buildings were demolished in 1996. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Krug Brewery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
