NORFOLK VIRGINIA BREWING HISTORY

More than a half dozen local brewers of lager beer appear in the Norfolk city directory of 1900, the most prominent of which, or at least the most heavily advertised, was Consumer Brewing Company in the Huntersville section of then-Norfolk County. Consumer opened its Washington Street brew house in 1895 and advertised Bavarian beer, Elk beer, dark beer, pale beer and malt beverages, something for every palate. After Virginia went dry in November 1916, Consumer stayed afloat for a while by turning over the plant to the Virginia Fruit Juice Company, which produced a fruit beverage there from 1917 to 1921. The Consumer’s Brewing Company (later to go by many names, including the Southern Brewing Company) opened in 1895.  It operated on Washington Avenue in the Huntersville section until 1916 when Virginia voted to go dry.  (Norfolk did so reluctantly.)  The brewery reopened just after the repeal of Prohibition as the Southern Brewing Company in 1934 and operated under that name until 1942.  In 1942, Jacob Ruppert Brewing of New York purchased the facility and it operated under the name of Jacob-Ruppert-Virginia.  They purchased the name and recipe of Red Fox beer from the Largay Brewing Company of Waterbury, Connecticut and produced it until 1953, when they ceased production in Norfolk. Southern Brewing Company bought the facility in 1936, producing Southern Beer, “The Pride of the South.” It was the first brewery to open in Virginia after the repeal of the 18th amendment. Southern Breweries sold the plant to Jacob Ruppert Breweries in 1942.

Champale Products, Inc. began production here in 1953. Later a subsidiary of Iroquois Brands, Ltd., Norfolk’s was one of only two Champale Breweries in the nation. Touted as the “champagne of bottled beer,” Champale operated here until mid-February 1980.

Makers Craft Brewery opened at 23rd and Church Street, Norfolk VA 23504, in the Historic Railroad district of Norfolk in March 2018, in an old Burlap Bag manufacturing plant; located just a few blocks down from Champale Breweries. Makers’ building features the original Art Deco exterior architecture and interior brick walls, columns and ceilings including skylights popular during period. The restored windows are duplicates of the original, with many salvageable parts used in recreating the now refurbished windows.

The Guicciardini Family

Since 1200 the Guicciardini , one of the most ancient Florentine families, held a prominent position in the social, political and commercial life of Florence.

Piero G. was named “Conte Palatino” by the Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg in 1416. The Guicciardini took part in the public life of Florence contributing 44 “priori”, 16 “gonfalonieri di giustizia” and 12 senators.

The most famous member of our family is the Historian Francesco Guicciardini (1483-1540) who , after having been entrusted with important appointments by the Medicis (Ambassador to Spain , Governor of Modena and Reggio , Head of the Cognac league) , retired to Florence and Poppiano where he wrote a part of his masterpiece “Historia d’ Italia”
