1857

1877

In 1877 things were starting to pick up for Duluth.

1884

Then, in 1884, Percy Anneke bought into the brewery and became Fitger's partner.

1885

Percy Shelly Anneke, a friend of Fitger's who worked as an auditor for Schlitz Brewing Company, signed on as the brewmaster's partner-though it would take until 1885 before he came through with his end of the financing.

1917

The success of the three major Duluth breweries began drying up when Duluth voted for early Prohibition in 1917, two years before alcohol was banned nationwide.

1930

After the repeal of Prohibition, Fitger's resumed brewing strong beer, and business boomed during the 1930's.

On April 6, 1933, Fitger's started selling beer again-in fact 19,000 cases left the Duluth brewery just after midnight.

1944

In 1944 Beerhalter purchased the business and it was operated by his family for the next 30 years.
