Christian Hohnberger 1858-1868
Christian ran a small brewing business from his 89 Lee rowhome which was previously the address of John Grasbinder. Christian was in business for 10 years and had the unfortunate issue that several Baltimoreans had of having his name misspelled. Stoneware is found as Hohnberger, Honberger and Honsberger. Imagine commissioning a potter and they spell your name incorrectly on three batches of stoneware

Hoster Brewing Company 1899
In 1899 Hoster Brewing Company ran a bottling house at 217-219 S. Howard St. Here kegs of beer would have arrived by train from Ohio, the beer siphoned from the keg and bottled for local sale. The short timeframe of this establishment leaves very few bottles.
By 1901 Hoster is gone and the location is used for wholesale liquor distribution.
