The Eagle Brewery and the rise of Cedar Rapids history

Christian Magnus and Jacob Wetzel built the Eagle Brewery in Cedar Rapids in 1859, expanding to a five story plant with ice houses and a riverfront view. The business thrived, but Iowa’s shifting liquor laws and local prohibitions from 1882 to 1884 led to closures and legal battles, shaping the fate of the once-booming operation.
