Christian Staehlin's Phoenix Brewery in St. Louis is the subject here, a plant tied to a specific local brewer rather than the city's wider beer trade. The record gives no date, and the shelflist card's link to a John Gast is unverified, so the picture's origin and maker remain uncertain. St. Louis had a large German community in the nineteenth century, and breweries like this one were a common part of its commercial life, supplying lager to taverns and beer gardens. A view of such a works offers a useful glimpse of how brewing became an established industry in the city's German neighborhoods.
