Ernest Eilert's Brewery

 

 

In 1884, Ernest Eilert purchased the Neillsville Brewery business from Herman Schuster.  After the purchase of the brewery, Eilert brought a complete change in the business.  A man of unusual strength in character, Eilert erected a strong and enduring building in conformity with his rugged spirit, on the 200 block of East Sixth Street.  The finest technical machinery was installed and when finished, the Neillsville Brewery ranked as a model plant.  The business was later sold to Eilert's brewmaster and son-in-law, Kurt Listeman, in 1898, and closed as a brewery in 1925.
