The 'Schmidt' brewery sign could be seen for a long distance in Saint Paul. It was especially bright and visible from long distance so locals knew they were almost home when they spied it. The residents missed the sign when Landmark Brewery took over and put up their own name. Unfortunately, the Schmidt sign was destroyed.
This place has a most interesting history. I really love it. There are miles of tunnels/caves that run under this brewery and during prohibition they used the tunnels to get the product 'out the door'. They haven't brewed any label of beer here for quite some years now. That mural on the this side of the plant is one of my favorites in the area too.
