Valentin Blatz (October 1, 1826 – May 26, 1894) was a German-American brewer and banker. He was born in Miltenberg, Bavaria and worked at his father's brewery in his youth. In August 1848 Blatz immigrated to America and by 1849 had moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Blatz established a brewery next to Johann Braun's City Brewery in 1850 and merged both breweries upon Braun's death in 1852. He also married Braun's widow. The brewery produced Milwaukee's first individually bottled beer in 1874. It incorporated as the Valentin Blatz Brewing Company in 1889 and by the 1900s was the city's third largest brewer. Blatz died in St. Paul, Minnesota, while returning home to Milwaukee from a trip to California. He was survived by a wife, three sons, and two daughters. He is buried in a massive family mausoleum at Forest Home Cemetery in Milwaukee. ==References== * * * * File:ValBlatzResidence1886.png|Valentin Blatz home (1886 engraving) File:BlatzBrewery1886.png|Blatz brewery (1886 engraving) File:Valentin Blatz.jpg|Mausoleum in Forest Home Cemetery 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「Valentin Blatz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
