Notes:
John Kozel's obituary said that he came to Washington DC in 1854, and
started a brewery that same year on 9th Street near M street NW 2.
From the city directories, it appears that George Kozel took over John's
brewery for 2 years, then sold it to Leo Ewald, who then sold it to John
Eller. After George gave up the brewery, he ran a beer garden until at least 1904.
Bottles:
| I don't have any Kozel bottles, but you can see one at this web site. |
| This is the building at approximately 43 N Street NW, where John Kozel's brewery was. It's a pretty old looking building, and might be the original building that housed the brewery (if anyone can confirm or deny this, please email me). Today it houses "The Brass Knob Back Doors Warehouse, Inc.". |
