HISTORY
The oldest and largest
Eugene
brewery was built in 1866 at Ninth and Olive
by Lewis Burns. He ran his Eugene City Brewery for
seven years, then sold it to August Werner and Henry
Hagerman in 1873, who in turn sold to Michael and
Joseph Vogl. The final owner of the original Lewis Burns
brewery was Henry Weinhard, the Portland brew king,
who purchased it in 1890. Not long after he bought
the Ninth Avenue brewery, Henry shut down its beermaking
operation. Thereafter the big barn with the
twin smokestacks was known as Weinhard’s Beer and
Ice Depot. In 1914 the old brewery building was sold
and torn down.
