Moggers Brewery is located at 9th and Poplar Streets. The building was built in 1837. Matthias Mogger was the founder of the brewery, and he was from Germany and one of the first entrepreneurs for brewing beer. Mogger's Brewery was housed in the Bleemel Building from 1848-1868. In 1893, Mogger's Brewery was the seventh largest brewery in the country! However, in 1958, the brewery closed, but re-opened in 2000 and became the second oldest active brewery in the nation. It was also the first brewery in the country to use black models. Mogger's makes its own brand of beer called Champagne Velvet. Moggers is now a restaurant and bar. The building is decorated with antique brewing equipment.
