Beginning in the mid-1800s; the beer-brewing industry in Cleveland experienced its most extensive growth due to the rapidly increasing immigrant population of mostly Germans;Czechs; and Irish. The breweries enjoyed great success until the Prohibition era closed all brewing operations down for 14 dry years. In 1933; the industry started anew; andClevelanders were able to enjoy locally made beer for 50 more years before business conditions led to the industrys second demise. Today the industry has once again experienced a rebirth; this time on a smaller scale with theemergence of a number of popular brewpubs and microbreweries.

Good Historical InformationBy Paul WilsonWe enjoyed reading about the history of Oswegatchie. Several members of my wifes family can be traced back to this town. It was great to see that someone had taken the time to write about its history.
