.........This website is under construction.........
After migrating to the United States, the Jung families were involved in many breweries. There are four primary Jung brewing families. Daniel Jung (Cincinnati), Philipp Jung (Milwaukee), William Jung, Sr. (Milwaukee), and William Jung, Jr (Random Lake). Although they each founded their own breweries, they were also involved in other various breweries. See the family history links for details on each person's brewery employment and affiliations. Explore the history of each of the individual breweries using the links to the right. [Information below will be added to individual brewery pages links...] Jung Brewing Co (Cincinnati)
