It is out of sight.
And there is nothing like it in Georgia. The proud city of Atlanta has ever been famous for its enterprise and push
and push of its young men.
One of the finest illustrations of this is
the success of the Atlanta Brewing and Ice company, made
up of the finest business brains and energy in the city.
A few years ago very little was known in this country of
the great brewing industry. Although thousands of
gallons were consumed in the city it was brought here
from distant cities like Milwaukee, St. Louis and
Cincinnati.
The money paid for it was a direct drain
upon the finances. But since the Atlanta
Brewery has been fully equipped with all the modern
appliances and improvements, with its magnificent
cellarage capacity and its train of twenty delivery
wagons, a change has been wrought in the beer business.
The brewery is situated at the corner of Courtland and
Harris streets, and occupies four acres of ground of
immense value on account of its central location.
The large buildings reaching from the
thirty six foot under ground floor of the deepest
cellars to the height of four stories, lighted
throughout by the company's own incandescent electric
lights, and supplied with the purest water from the
 new
artesian wells, are monuments to the energy of Atlanta
young men. Only the best of malt and other
material to be obtained in the market is used. The
malt is crushed, not ground, and as mash goes into
mammoth copper chaldron (sic), where it seethes and
boils and bubbles until cooked to the proper stage.
The essence of the finest hops grown in the country is
added, and then the beer is pumped into an immense
surface cooler vat, from whence it goes to cellars to
remain and ferment and get the proper age upon it.
In about four months it comes forth a perfect article of
lager beer, healthful, refreshing and invigorating.
Its superior is not to be found in the market, draught
or bottled, and its popularity increases as it becomes
more generally introduced.
The wagons delivered the draught beer to dealers in kegs
fresh from the cellars, and bottled beer by the case,
dozen or half dozen to private consumers, who, once they
ever try it, will have no other.
It is a great establishment, and a tour of
cellars and buildings is of surprising interest, showing
how money and brains are able to accomplish anything.
Best and most praiseworthy of all is the fact that
everything--bottles, blacksmithing, machinery, wagon
making and repairing, harness making, everything-is done
here in Atlanta. The company neither buys
any material or employs any labor from abroad that is
procurable in Atlanta, and that is one of the prime
secrets of its success. It is an Atlanta
institution that is the outgrowth of mutual home
patronage, and is, in every sense, a home industry.
Therefore, try the home-brewed Atlanta beer when you are
thursty.
