Bartholomay Brewing Company 1882-1904

Bartholomay established a location in Baltimore in 1882 at 385 W. Baltimore St. Soon thereafter in 1884 they moved to 70-72 North St and then in 1889 to 227-229 S. Central Ave. Bartholomay's was never a brewery in Baltimore and only existed as a bottling house where kegs from New York would train shipped to Baltimore, the beer siphoned from the keg and bottled for local sale.

By 1901 the 227-229 S. Central location was a great location with a train rail siding that allowed a freight car to be pushed right next to the building for the quick and easy unloading of kegs.

Dr. Bates' National Tonic Beer Brewery 1870-1883

Dr. Bates was one of a very few that used round bottom bottles. This example with his Pineapple Cordial would be the other. Bates is found in the Baltimore City Directories first at 80 Centre Market Square, then Baltimore & Charles, 228 W. Baltimore and finally back at 80 Centre Market Square. He is the proprietor of tonic beer before and after 1876. This bottle may be the only bottle he used selling with the the rest sold in kegs or by the glass. Tonic Beer and water proof soles? What a combination!

George Bauernschmidt's Greenwood Park Brewery 1863-1901

The Greenwood Park Brewery of George Bauernschmidt was very successful and he added a huge bottling house at the brewery to handle the high demand for his beer for family consumption. George sold the brewery in 1899 to the Maryland Brewery Company which in turn sold the brewery to the Gottlieb-Baurenschmidt-Strauss (GBS) company in 1901. Embossed bottles from those endeavors are discussed on those pages.

George's Greenwood Park brewery started in a very rural area of Baltimore and by 1910 was surrounded on all three sides by roads and rowhomes.
