The Dobler Brewing Company was a small regional brewery, located in Albany, New York—at the time the largest brewing hub in the country.[1] Dobler was founded in 1865, and had an annual capacity of 25,000 barrels during its height.[2]
The brewery was one of only three breweries (along with Hedrick and Beverwyck) in Albany to survive Prohibition;[1] Dobler was equipped with refrigeration capabilities in order to produce their line of lager, allowing them to convert to soda production.[3] However, they never regained national distribution post-Prohibition.[1] The Dobler Brewery closed in 1960, shortly after being sold to Hampden-Harvard Breweries of Willimansett, Massachusetts.[2] The main building where the brewery once stood was demolished in 1960. However, an adjacent building which served as the carriage house for the delivery horses still stands.[3]
