Historic Beer Birthday: Joseph F. Hausmann

February 20, 2025 By Jay Brooks

hausmann
Today is the birthday of Joseph F. Hausmann (February 20, 1887-November 30, 1916). I couldn’t find much of anything about Hausmann, apart from this. He was the brewmaster of Capital Brewery in Madison, Wisconsin, which was founded in 1854. In 1891 it changed its name to the Hausmann Brewing Co. when, presumably, he bought the brewery.

This is a short obituary from the 1917 American Brewers’ Review.
