240 PRESENT POSITION OF 



Review ' : " Pure yeast has already conquered a wide terri- 

 tory, but is far from being mistress of the entire industry. 

 From the view point of the brewer, who is perfectly right in 

 being conservative, it would be a great misfortune if so 

 radical an innovation could conquer the world so quickly. 

 We were the first in the United States to point out the 

 importance of pure yeast, and have defended our position 

 against all attacks. We have predicted final triumph to pure 

 yeast in America, and we are confident that this will come 

 about, although in some instances the attempts to introduce 

 it may have been balked by ignorance or jealousy. The 

 results obtained by firms of world-wide renown, as the Pabst 

 Brewing Company, the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Association, 

 and the Schlitz Brewing Company, not to mention breweries 

 outside of the United States, gives eloquent testimony for 

 the virtue of the innovation." 



In that country things are done on a larger scale than in 

 Europe. The Pabst Brewing Company in Milwaukee, e.g., 

 produces annually about 1,100,000 barrels (1,298,000 hecto- 

 liters), Jos. Schlitz, in Milwaukee, about 800,000 barrels 

 (944,000 hectoliters), and Anheuser Bn.sch, in St. Louis, about 

 900,000 barrels (1,062,000 hectoliters). For comparison, it 

 may be mentioned that the annual production of Old Carls- 

 berg brewery amounts to 290,000 hectoliters. It is thus seen 

 that we have to do here with an enormous industry, and that 

 we are dealing not with thousands, but with millions.
