George Juenemann (1823–1884) co-owned and operated Humphrey and Juenemann's Pleasure Garden, a Washington DC brewery and early example of an American beer garden.
[1] George was born in 1823 in Bischhagen, Thuringia, Germany to Joannes Josef Juenemann from Heuthen, Thuringia, Germany and Catharina Staender from Dingelstaedt, Thuringia, Germany.
Juenemann purchased Humphreys share of the business five years later and renamed the facility Mount Vernon Lager Beer Brewery and Pleasure Garden.
The brewery was the largest in the District of Columbia during the Civil War, but dropped to second largest by the 1870s when Christian Heurich Brewing Company claimed the title.
