Sedelmayer’s steam brewery (1767) (49 Novhorodska St.)
The oldest brewery was built on 47 Vyrobnycha Street. Later it was renamed 49 Novhorodska Street. The complex of buildings was built in Baroque style, it was rectangular two-story building with a two-level roof. The other one was a three-story building with canopies and a high foundation wall.
At that time, the Stanislaviv Brewery was an averagely sized enterprise that annually produced about 13,000 hectoliters (1 hl = 100 liters) of several types of bear, including marzen, porter and lager.
In 1911, the brewery became a limited liability company. It was created by 29 co-owners, Stanislav Sedelmeier and Mishchanskyi Bank in Stanislaviv were both the largest shareholders. Beer production grew up to 24 thousand hectoliters a year, and there were 52 employees.
The brewery suspended its operation during the First World War and resumed the work in 1920. The following twenty years of the interwar period it was a regular local enterprise and even smaller than other surrounding breweries from Kalush or Kolomyia. At the end of the 1920s, the Labor Inspectorate of Stanislaviv Voivodeship carried out an internal audit of the brewery, which found out that it was in poor technical conditions. Nevertheless, the Sedelmeier Brewery survived the economic crisis of the 1930s and brewed beer until the beginning of World War II.
In 1940, carts that were used for beer transportation were seized by the Soviets for the deportation of Jewish citizens.
The buildings of the brewery were dismantled in 2007. Some investors promised to renovate the premises and launch a beer production in Baroque brewing departments, which should be a great tourist attraction and city advertisement all over Ukraine. However, this did not happen. Instead of a renovated brewery, there were built dwelling houses. On the ground floor, a fast food restaurant was opened. Several houses of the former brewery still have been preserved, one of them bears the date of “AD 1767” and the inscription in Polish „Browar Sedelmajera”.
