Old cave entrance

In the early days of the Lemp Brewery, the beer was stored in a network of natural caves below the Lemp Mansion and the Lemp brewing complex nearby. They also used to hold large parties in the caves. This photo shows the entrance to the cave system below the mansion. This entrance is now closed off and is located in the cellar.

William J. Lemp is probably rolling over in his grave because the beer being sold in this bar is that of his arch rival company Anheuser-Busch which is located right across the highway from the Lemp brewery location. (A-B is also my current employer.)
