From the record

Summary

The 1880 national brewing survey Beer, Its History and Its Economic Value as a National Beverage lists Boemer & Wirth at Stockton among California brewers with 515 barrels sold in 1878 and 612 barrels in 1879. The same Stockton section separately lists Elizabeth Neistrath/Neislrath and Daniel Rothenbush, demonstrating multiple concurrent Stockton brewers. Daniel Rothenbush is already reconciled to El Dorado Brewery; therefore preserves Boemer & Wirth as a distinct proprietor-named production entity. Exact trade name, address, opening, closure and beer products remain UNKNOWN.

Tally’s Take

A surname pair and two years of measured output: the 1880 national brewing survey lists Boemer & Wirth at Stockton with 515 barrels sold in 1878 and 612 in 1879. Trade name, address, opening, closure and beers are all unknown and stay unknown. The same survey page lists Elizabeth Neistrath and Daniel Rothenbush at Stockton as well, which is the entire reason this record exists as its own entity — three concurrent brewers in one city, and the barrel counts prove all three were actually making beer rather than merely holding a name.
