Stockton Independent reporting and advertising in August 1857 state the San Andreas Brewery had reopened, identify Gooner Evinson as proprietor and John P. Wagner as agent/superintendent/brewer, and advertise Lager Beer and Scotch Ale. A 1858 Phoenix Brewery advertisement in San Andreas names J. P. Wagner and Jacob Hahn, but exact continuity is held rather than assumed.
