In 1886, the building was bought by Adam Schumacher. The Potosi Brewing Company was officially founded by Schumacher and his brothers, Nicholas and Henry, in 1906. Beer was brewed in one building and piped underground to a bottling facility across the street. At its peak, it was the fifth largest brewer in the United States. During Prohibition, the Potosi Brewery produced nonalcoholic beer by brewing beer and boiling the alcohol out of it. They also bottled milk from the company's farm.
