## About

In 1856, Ulrich Oderbolz pioneered Western Wisconsin’s brewing industry in Black River Falls. Today, the Sand Creek Brewing Company continues that proud tradition by offering great beers brewed at the same location. In the early 1900’s, the Oderbolz family sold the brewery. Prohibition shut down the brewery in 1920, and over the next 70 or so years the old brewery had been used for everything from raising turkeys to building land mines during the Korean War to bottling Coca-Cola and private labeled soft drinks. In late 1996, brothers Jim and Dave Hellman purchased the old brewery, refurbished the building and installed a brand-new, state-of-the-art brewing system. In 1999, the Sand Creek Brewing Co. became a reality with the first official brewing of Sand Creek Golden Ale.
