[1] Andrés Ebner was born in Bavaria, Germany in 1850, moving to Peru in 1868, and a year after to Chile, where he, along with his partner Otto Schleyer, founded a brewery in Talca in 1870.

[1] In 1916 the factory was sold by the heirs of Ebner to the Compañía de Cervecerías Unidas, and continued operating under the same brand name until 1978, when it closed, being abandoned and finally dismantled between 1981 and 1982.

[1][3] In 1986 the property was acquired by the businessman Luis Echavarri, who proposed a project to convert the old factory into a focal point for gastronomy and commerce, with a modern boulevard, a shopping center and a beer museum —the first in Santiago—.

[7] The former house of Andrés Ebner consists of a main elongated section that is parallel to Independencia Avenue, between Olivos and Echeverría streets, and a diagonal wing at the southern end.

[1] Built in Renaissance Revival and Second French Empire styles, the building features a rusticated front facade that has twin semicircular-arch windows set in arched recesses on the ground floor.
