Summary
A historical biographical account states the old Jackson Brewery had been established in 1860 and was purchased by experienced brewer John Strohm about 1886. Amador Ledger advertising still identifies John Strohm as proprietor of Jackson Brewery in 1911. Exact founding proprietors and final closure remain unresolved.
