BAVARIA.
Through the courtesy and attention Of the brewers
OF MUNICH we had ample opportunities afforded us
OF visiting their establishments. The most extensive
are those of MIR. Gabriel Sedlemyr and the Lion
Brewery. these bieweries each cover area of
ground equal to from eight 10 twelve acres in extent

its vicinity, The beer whether present lager

underlying Their buildings and grounds. The beer is
preserved by ice, With which the vaults are covered
and surrounded In one instance 10000 tons OF ice
were thus stored away In single establishment

small quantity OF hops is used IN the brewing the
public taste being aveIse to highly hoped beer.
The mating OF their barley is conducted IN cellars
underneath their brewenes, The floors are COM

AUSTRIA
One of the most celebrated breweries in Europe is
situated at Schwechat, distant about six miles lTom
Vienna, and known as the D-eher Brewery. Mr.. A.
Dreher, now deceased, the IOunder of this extensive
establishment, before commencing the erection
his brewery, Visited the prominent brewerles OF other
countries and investigated their modes of brewing
and the construction ana arrangements OF their uten
slls. BY applying the knowledge thus obtained, and
conducting his business on the most scientific princ
pies, he commenced a business career which proved
and continued to be, for period Of thirty years
until his deaIh, one of almost unparalleled success
in tins branch OF manufacture. he also erected two
other bTeweries in other provinces Of the empire
which proved equally successful
