Schorr, got the brewery back up and running at full capacity.

When Prohibition ended, and producers of alcoholic beverages were given the greenlight to reopen, John Schorr, the son of J.W. If you’ve ever tasted O’Douls or any of the other “near beer” beverages, you’ll understand why that didn’t work out for them. For a couple of years, the brewery tried to stay open acting as an icehouse and by brewing and bottling a drink called “NIB,” which stood for Non-Intoxicating Beverage. Unfortunately, Prohibition took its toll on the Tennessee Brewing Company, closing its doors for more than a decade – but all was not lost. The name was then changed to “Tennessee Brewing Company,” and they began using water from Memphis’s naturally-filtered sand aquifer to produce their beer. Schorr, Casper Koehler, and the brewery was expanded to the structure that stands today. In 1890, the brewery was acquired by J.W. Herbers organized the “Memphis Brewing Company,” located at the intersection of Tennessee and Butler streets in Downtown Memphis. So, brewing in Memphis began in 1877, when G.H. We’re very much looking forward to doing “research” on how good bourbon tastes when it’s made from Memphis water. And it also makes some really great beer… It also makes for really great tasting distilled spirits, but that’s a subject for a later episode. Because the layers of clay protect it, groundwater from Memphis is ideal for many industrial uses. The addition of fluoride and chlorine is a legal requirement for public drinking water, so that our teeth don’t rot out of our heads.

“Scattered, smothered, and covered” sounds way better… and I think that’s also a Hootie and the Blowfish album. I’m realizing that “filtered, chlorinated, and fluoridated” sounds like something that happens to hashbrowns at the worst Waffle House restaurant in existence. After that, it is filtered, chlorinated, and fluoridated. The water is so pure when it comes from the wells that it only has to be aerated to eliminate iron and dissolved gasses. While all water contains at least small levels of contaminants, Memphis water has very low levels of fluoride, nitrate, lead, and copper.Īccording to a Memphis Light Gas & Water report from 2015, there’s actually no detectable lead at all in Memphis’s source water. The sand acts as a natural filter, slowly removing many of the water’s impurities. The water supply in Memphis comes from natural reservoirs hundreds of feet below the ground, and most of that water lies in sand aquifers that sit between layers of clay. Most Memphians will agree on one fact about their home city.
