[edit] Summary

Description

"The brewery of Hemrich Bros., near Lake Union," from brochure Seattle and the Orient (1900). According to information in the accompanying text, the Hemrich Brothers (Alvin and Louis) were also associated with the Seattle Brewing & Malting Company, makers of Rainier Beer, and one of its predecessors, the Bay View Brewing Company. They incorporated as Hemrich Brewing Company in 1899, bought the old Slorah steam brewing plant on South Lake Union, and converted it to brew lager.

A history of the Hemrich Brewery on brewerygems.com says they started in 1897, and says that prior to their ownership the brewery was known as North Pacific Brewery as well as Slorah Brewery. They are more precise about the location than is the Seattle and the Orient brochure: it was located on Howard Ave. N. (now Yale Ave. N.), between Republican and Mercer streets. This would place it in the Cascade neighborhood, about a block and a half south of what are now the Mercer Street ramps of Interstate 5. (Lake Union would have been larger in those days: there has been quite a bit of fill.)
