There’s not much left of the Melchoir Brewery in the Village of Trempealeau, Wisconsin. It’s a ruin, with only one corner of the original building standing. There’s no roof and the windows are long gone. Sandstone bluffs perch behind the ruin. Caves were cut into these bluffs to store the beer that was once brewed here.
The brewery was built in 1857 by Jacob Melchoir, a Prussian immigrant. Melchoir also built a hotel, which is no longer standing. The brewery and hotel were built before the railr
