In the year 1847, Wilhelm "William" Rahr and his young bride "Natalie" left behind their beloved Rhineland, Germany and came to America. Within the year, on the banks of the Manitowoc River and Lake Michigan, William Rahr had established himself in industry - the Eagle Brewery and Malt House. His three sons and two nephews helped make the Eagle Brewery a great success. William's nephews soon moved off to Green Bay and Oshkosh, WI to found the Rahr breweries located in those cities.
Upon William's death, his three sons changed the name of the brewery and malt house to the William Rahr Sons Company and expanded their malting capabilities to help supply the entire surrounding brewing industry’s needs for malted barley.
150 years later, the Rahr name is still known throughout the brewing community as a producer of only the highest quality malted barleys. It is because of this rich history that Fritz Rahr decided to continue in the paths of his ancestors and open the brewery - Rahr & Sons Brewing, in the town of Fort Worth, Texas.
Rahr & Sons brews majestic lagers and rich ales using time honored recipes in the styles of the Rahr brew masters of the past. “We hope you enjoy drinking them!†- Frederick "Fritz" William Rahr, Jr.
