Cannot Be Excelled

April 1, 1910, Neenah Daily Times
Don't be confused with the Walter Brothers Brewery, the maker of Gem and Gold Label beers.  No, this was another brewery which had existed since the 1860's but was acquired by the Winz family by 1881 and went by that name for several years.  This version lasted from about 1888 until 1920 and was, like the preceding businesses, located at First and Manitowoc Streets, according to the 1913 telephone directory.  Formerly known as the Winz Brewery, the 1920 City Directory lists Werner Winz as President, and Peter Winz as Secretary-Treasurer, so evidently the only change was that name change in 1888.  We first talked about the Winz brewery in the blog in 2012: https://menashabook.blogspot.com/2012/06/winz-brewery.html
