    Default After Ortlieb's, how many classic breweries left?

    Now that Blattstein has decided that what's left of Ortlieb's Brewery isn't worth saving, is there anything else still around from our pre-Prohibition history that is? Gretz -- long abandoned but intact. Red Bell -- slated for reuse, then reabandoned. Bergdoll -- successfully restored and reused.

    Any others?

    (NB: the jazz cafe is a separate property and won't be destroyed. It sure will be desolate around there, though, at least until the Villa at Ortlieb's or whatnot is developed.)

    Philadelphia Brewing Company is located in the Weisbrod and Hess brewery (1885).

    Gretz and Poth (aka Red Bell) included in this year's Endangered Properties List:

    The Esslinger Brewery at Ridge, 10th, and Callowhill is still there and pretty much completely intact as a single property.
