This institution has been in existence for ten years, being started by Herold, Hunt & Co., in 1873, who put up the brewery in Jones' Grove, north of Ogden River, a very popular pleasure resort and a shady retreat in summer. Richter & Fry continued the business and soon secured for themselves a wide-reaching fame for a fresh, foaming malt-and-hops liquid. At present Mr. John J. Fry is sole proprietor and he manages the brewery, which has an excellent pationage not only in local trade, but also abroad, Mr. Fry being well known in all parts of the Territory as a manufacturer of ability and a businessman of integrity. The Grove Brewery now stands on the north side of Ogden River, just west ot the bridge. This establishment, second to none in the Territory, was opened in December, 1880. It is a fine structure, all of fire-proof brick, covered with a tin roof from which a magnificent panorama of the city and country unfolds itself to the delighted eye. The original frontage was 90 feet, but an addition will soon be built for a malthouse. Spacious cellars extend under the whole building, with cement floors and solid vaults. The beer cellar is 75 feet in length and 25 in width, with a height of 14. The fermenting cellar is the same length, with 13 in width. Over both there are patent icehouses, of a capacity of 2,000 tons, Mr. John Fry laying in his own congealed commodity every season. The capacity of the storage cellar is 2,000 barrels. All in all, the Grove Brewery is among the leading manufacturing establishments in the city and county.

Just across the river from the new Grove Brewery, on the south side of the alternately roaring or laughing Ogden River, Mr. Moritz Richter has erected a series of buildings under the comprehensive name of Ogden City Brewery. Here we have first the brewery proper, in a solid, substantial frame building, 30 by 50 feet. In this department we find the largest boiler in Ogden City, one inferior to none in the Territory, made by Mr. Abram Stevens, of this City. It is a fine piece of work, six feet square by six feet deep. The mash tub also, as all the vats, etc., are Ogden manufactures, of the best lumber, most approved styles, large size, and good workmanship, The malthouse, which will be most perfectly and conveniently appointed, is in course of erection. The cellars, 27 by 30 feet, are very favorably located, cool in summer, not too cold in winter, well aired and ventilated. Their annual capacity is 4,000 barrels. There we find some capacious vessels, large enough not only to furnish a domicile to Diogenes but to hold his whole tribe of Cynics. He has also there the most improved and valuable beer pumping machine —Forster's patent, the only one in use in any Utah Brewery—at the present time. Other modern appliances and improvements have been adopted by Mr. . Richter, too numerous to mention. Lately Mr. Richter has associated with him Mr. Nelson McCarty, an energetic business man. The firm are doing a fine trade, owing to the excellence of their goods. tf- Trimmings in all New Shades at Wotherspoon's, Main St, y |
