Frank Fehr Brewing

Company History: It has been more than 50 years since Fehr’s XL has been brewed in Louisville. Founded in the late 1800s, Frank Fehr Brewing Company — often just known as Fehr’s Brewery — was, for a time, one of the top brewers in the Southeast. A changing market that was deeply affected by the aftermath of Prohibition helped seal the fate of the brewery, which was located on Liberty Street. The Fehr’s brand was briefly owned by Brown-Forman before beer was produced under the Fehr’s name for several years by other breweries outside the city. (www.louisvillefuture.com)
