1959

Brewing was a major industry in Oshkosh. Here's a display from 1959 showing the economic impact of the Oshkosh Brewing Company.

OBC was producing more than 60,000 barrels of beer at this point. Across the street, at Peoples Brewing, they were producing close to 40,000 barrels.

Today, it’s an altogether different game. Last year’s total beer production in Oshkosh was less than 2,000 barrels.
