"In 1856 Michael Beck operated a small brewery at 59 Harrison Road in Brighton, a part of Cincinnati. By 1858 he was joined by Leonard Bauer. In 1865 he left Beck to operate his own brewery on Hamilton Road (McMicken Avenue). Two years later William Bogen became a partner in the brewery at 63, 65, and 67 Harrison Avenue. They remained in business until 1871. They sold $397.75 in beer that year." Cincinnati Breweries, Robert J. Wimberg (1997)
