He came to the United States as a young man in 1854. first finding work in the brewing industry in New York, Louisville, and Cincinnati.

Wiedemann promoted itself as "America's only registered beer" and often used humorous radio commercials as part of its advertising campaigns.

The name, the recipe, logo and all intellectual rights were bought out by beer brewer and journalist Jon Newberry.

In 2018 Jon and wife, Betsy purchased an old funeral home in Cincinnati and after a few years of renovating the old building it opened up not only a brewery but a taproom and restaurant.

In 2019 the home of George Wiedemann Jr. at 401 Park Avenue was renovated and is now utilized as a place of business.
