Rieger and Gretz was founded in 1881, at the intersection of Germantown Avenue and Oxford Street in Philadelphia. Unlike most of its counterparts in "The City of Brotherly Love," Rieger and Gretz did reopen after Prohibition ended, in 1933. However, the Riegers' involvement had been terminated, and the brewery spent the last twenty-eight years of its life as the William Gretz Brewing Company. Beset by intense competition, both from other Philadelphia brewers and the national giants, Gretz closed down in 1961.

Excellent condition for its age. Please examine gallery pictures to view condition.
