The Joseph Huber Brewing Company was founded in 1845 in Monroe, Wisconsin.

Originally called The Blumer Brewery, it adopted the Huber name in 1947.

Huber reached its most successful point around 1978, when its Augsburger brand received awards from several prominent beer reviewers and became a top seller for the company.

Fred Huber, son of Joseph, bought the brewery and resumed operations in a partnership with Chicago's Berghoff family, but the brewery filed for bankruptcy and was sold in 1995.

[1][2] In 2006, the brewery and its brands were sold to Mountain Crest Brewing Company,[3] of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
