August Uihlein

Uihlein and his five brothers worked for the Joseph Schlitz Brewing Company. Nephews of August Krug, the brewery’s founder, the Uihlein brothers assumed control when Schlitz died and gained complete ownership after the death of Mrs. Anna Schlitz. Uihlein guided the brewery’s rise to national prominence.
