  • Austria comes with no more striking exhibit than the malteries and breweries of Nobak Frères and Fritze.

    Lippincott's Magazine, December 1878 Various

  • The immense extent of the magazines for barley and hops; the size and height of the malteries, where by continuous processes the grain is damped, sprouted and dried and the malt ground; the number and capacity of the various vessels in which the infusions of malt and hops are made and mixed; and the apparently interminable series of engines, pumps and pipes by which the steam and liquids are conducted, -- are confusing until some study evolves order out of the apparent confusion.
