The National Brewing Company was a beer brewing company based in Baltimore, Maryland. The National Brewing Company operated from 1872 until the late 1970s. At the end of the 1970s, the National Brewing Company was purchased and their breweries were shut down. However, National's two most prominent brands, National Bohemian Beer and Colt 45, were kept alive and are now brewed in Wisconsin. ==History== In 1872, the National Brewing Company was built at the intersection of Conkling and O'Donnell Street in Baltimore, Maryland. The company was then known exclusively for its National Premium beer. In 1885, National Brewery Company began brewing their flagship National Bohemian beer by the barrel.〔National Brewing Company, “History,” National Bohemian Beer website, (accessed November 14, 2010).〕 Nevertheless, they were still considered one of the city’s smaller breweries. The brewery itself, still showing signs of stables from the days of horse-drawn beer wagons, was in dire need of renovations. Unavoidably, National Brewing Company was forced to shut down with the onset of the 13 year Noble Experiment in 1920; larger competitors, however, such as Gunther and Globe Brewing (maker of Arrow Beer), managed to sidestep Prohibition by producing near beer.〔Brennen Jensen, “A Beer to Call Your Own: Tales from the Rise and Fall of National Brewing,”'' Baltimore City Paper'', January 16, 2002, ''City Paper Archives'', (accessed November 1, 2010).〕 Shortly after Prohibition was overturned on April 7, 1933, Samuel Hoffberger acquired and modernized the company, thereby reviving the National Brewing Company.〔Eric Siegel, “Jerry Hoffberger,” ''The Baltimore Sun'', January 21, 1979, ''The Historical Baltimore Sun (1837-1985''), (accessed October 31, 2010).〕 When his son, Jerold Hoffberger, returned from World War II in 1945, Hoffberger made him treasurer of the company at age 26.〔“Jerry Hoffberger—A Premium Product,” ''The Evening Sun'', August 3, 1978, Enoch Pratt Free Library; Vertical Files Collection, Baltimore, Maryland (accessed November 7, 2010).〕 A year later, Jerold Hoffberger was named President of the National Brewing Company, a position he would hold for 28 years. At the time, the company was producing approximately 230,000 barrels of beer.〔Eric Siegel, “Jerry Hoffberger,” ''The Baltimore Sun'', January 21, 1979, ''The Historical Baltimore Sun (1837-1985) '', (accessed October 31, 2010).〕
