Klotter Sr. left that brewery, while Sohn continued alone, and Klotter started another brewery, the George Klotter Brewery in 1866 The following year George Jr., and his brother Louis, joined the brewery, and it was renamed the George Klotter and Sons Brewery, which it remained until 1888.

    Hello!

    Georg Friedrich Klotter is my 1st cousin, 5x removed. Thank you for posting this information about him. I guess you would have a hard time believing that I have never developed a taste for beer!

    Is it possible I could use this image to get a t-shirt made?

      Jenny,

      It’s fine by me, but I don’t own the copyright on any of the images. In fact probably no one does given their age, they’re more than likely in the public domain.
