| Introduction | The original Silverton Brewery opened in September of 1880. Mulholland & Peckham owned the brewery and operated it under the trade name Silverton Brewing Company. Mirroring the breweries of the East, a beer garden was constructed and the first patrons entered the doors in July of 1881. In 1884, Charles Fischer purchased the brewery. Production reached a peak in 1886, at 5,500 barrels. His beer was described as “pure as the waters that flow down these mountains”. In 1901, Fischer leased the brewery to William Schultz. Schultz, trained as a master brewer in Germany, managed the brewery successfully and changed the name to Schultz Brewery. In 1912, the business was sold to Charles Faden and associates. Thereafter, it operated until the onset of prohibition. Silverton went without a brewery until the current Silverton Brewery opened for business in June of 2005. The brewing system became fully operational in April of 2006. The five-barrel system has been producing fine beers ever since. Currently, our beer can be found in Durango & Ouray Colorado. As well in our Silverton tap room nestled in the beautiful San Juan Mountains. |
