About Cross Plains Beer Company

Esser's Brewery was first established in 1863 and revived in 1995. George Esser arrived from Germany in 1852 with a taste for good German beer. He built a brewery in Cross Plains in 1863 and called his beer Esser's Best. Six generations of Essers have continued the tradition, keeping the company alive during Prohibition by distributing "near beer." Re-established in 1995, under the direction of Wayne and Larry Esser, Esser's Best is now brewed using the original recipe. In celebration of 150 years in the beer business, the Esser family produced an ale to commemorate this mark in history. All beers are available in bottles and kegs with statewide distribution.
