Wacker Brewing Co.

Established in 1853 and reborn in 2014. Brewing great craft beer for Lancaster County! Louis and Milwaukee, Wacker Brewing Company closed in 1956.

In 1870, Joseph Wacker bought the Eagle Brewery, which had been established in 1853 and stood at the corner of Water and West Walnut Streets. Thus began what would eventually become one of the four biggest breweries in Lancaster County. In the lead up to Prohibition, Lancaster city was known as the "Munich of the United States." During this time, the Wacker "Little Dutch" and "Old Bohemian" beers

became synonymous with quality, local brew. Of the Big Four city breweries to go into Prohibition, Wacker was the only one to emerge with the upgraded facilities necessary to compete in the post-Prohibition and World War II brewing landscape. But the shift to television advertising and changes in drinking habits had altered the brewing industry drastically, and no longer able to compete with the huge breweries in St. When the last of the beer in storage tanks was drained into the sewer, a unique chapter in Lancaster County's history came to a close. In 2014, Wacker Brewing Company was brought back to life by the great grandson of one of the original brewery's workers and we are committed to providing the same high-quality product and service that the Wacker name symbolized! We're focused on perfecting our craft and supplying Lancaster County with an amazing kolsch and dunkelweizen that have to be tasted to be believed. Wacker is "the beer you always loved!"

We're throwing it back to the good ol' days with '63, a light lager that's older than your parents' dance moves! 😂 Brewed special for Dutch Wonderland to celebrate the year the park opened in 1963. Grab one and relive the thrill of screaming your lungs out on the rollercoaster, minus the embarrassing dad jokes! 🎢🍺
