Germany - Breweries

In February 1872 a group of 8 Germans got together to create a brewery club, and brewed a bottom-fermented Pilsner. Gaining popularity, the brewery held a competition in 1907 to create a trademark symbol. Local illustrator Georg Rader won with his "Golden Boy in Jug" design. In 1910 the brewery was renamed the Berliner Kindl Brauerei. In January 2006, Berliner Kindl merged with another big Berlin brewery Schultheiss, creating one of the largest breweries in Germany.

Below are some notes to help identify some of these changes and an aid to reference the year of the glass.
