Olde Heurich Brewing Company


Notes:
Olde Heurich items are from on-or-after 1986, as they are a resurgence of the original Christian Heurich Brewing Company.

Gary Heurich is a grandson of Christian Heurich. Gary started a microbrewery circa 1986 with the name "Olde Heurich". The beer was actually brewed in Utica NY, but sold in the Washington DC area. It lasted on-and-off until 2006.
A list of their beers that I know of includes: Olde Heurich Maerzen, Olde Heurich Amber, Summer Fogg wheat ale, Spring Fogg bock, Autumn Foggy maerzen, Winter Fogg porter, Foggy Bottom porter, Foggy Bottom ale, and Foggy Bottom lager.
