The Fred Krug Brewery was located at 2435 Deer Park Boulevard in Omaha, Nebraska. Founded in 1859, Krug Brewery was the first brewery in the city.[1] Krug was one of the "Big 4" brewers located in Omaha, which also included the Storz, Willow Springs and Metz breweries.[2] Later sold to Falstaff in 1936, the facility closed in 1987.
The Krug Brewery in Omaha should not be confused with an earlier Krug Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. That brewery became the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company in 1856 when Joseph Schlitz assumed management of the brewery upon marrying Anna Maria Krug, the widow of George August Krug.[3]
