Queens Brau Pint Glass, Queen's City Brewing, Cumberland MD - The Queen of Beers!

The big names in Cumberland brewing emerged toward the turn of the century, with the Cumberland Brewing Co. in 1890 and the Queen City Brewing Co. in 1901. These brewers marketed their beer as high quality due to their use of fresh mountain water. And thus, Cumberland’s beer industry evolved from productions that relied on horse-drawn wagons to transport cases of bottled beer into thriving operations.

At the peak of productions, after World War II, brewers employed over 300 people in Cumberland. However, the industry was unable to compete with national bottling companies and Queen City Brewery was the last to close in 1974.
