In the nineteenth-century, breweries built or bought taverns, then leased them to operators who could only sell that brewery's beer. Schlitz’s taverns were well-known for their social and cultural activities, including ethnic singing, musical groups, and theatrical performances. Around 1920, however, antitrust law compelled breweries to divest all real estate not directly related to beer production. Most taverns like this one were subsequently sold to their managers.
