[5] They produced approximately 600 barrels of beer per year until 1867 when Schoenhofen bought out Gottfried, moved production to a newer facility constructed at the intersection of 18th Street and Canalport Avenue, and renamed the company after himself.

[2] Over the following decades, the facility was expanded continuously, culminating in the 1902 construction of the powerhouse building, which was designed by Hugh Garden and made use of a natural spring for brewing water.

In 1919, Richard C. Jones, who had developed the Green River brand of soft drink sold the recipe to Schoenhofen Brewing.

After the repeal of Prohibition, Schoenhofen was purchased by the National Brewing Company and resumed producing Edelweiss beer as well as continuing production of Green River.

[5] The brewery was purchased again in the late 1940s by Atlas Brewing, who in 1951 ended production of Edelweiss in favor of Drewry's Beer and the Schoenhofen name ceased to exist.
