History: The Lemp Brewery was a beer brewing company in St. Louis, Missouri, which was founded in 1840 by German immigrant Johann Adam Lemp (1798-1862). Over the next 80 years, the Lemp family was devastated by personal tragedies as it built its beer empire over caves of the city. The Lemp trademark Falstaff was acquired by the Griesedieck Beverage Company in 1920, which subsequently became the Falstaff Brewing Corporation, surviving Prohibition by selling near beer, soft drinks, and cured hams under the Falstaff name. Falstaff Beer popularity peaked in pupularity in 1965 but gradually declined with its last plant closing in 1990. The Pabst Brewing Company continued producing Falstaff branded beer until sales waned and it shut down production in 2005.
