"The Maier Brewing Company started as the Ed. Preuss & Company Philadelphia Brewery in 1874. The following year, it became the D. Mahlstedt Company Philadelphia Brewery, and then the Maier & Zobelein Brewery, located in Los Angeles, in 1882. When Maier and Zobelein dissolved their partnership in 1907, the brewery became the Maier Brewing Company, located at 500 East Commercial Street, Los Angeles. Existing for several decades, the Maier Brewing Company was purchased by the General Brewing Company in 1971, but was later closed in 1974. Eastside Beer was bottled by Los Angeles Brewing Company, owned by George Zobelein, a former partner of Maier and Zobelein Brewery. After the two split in 1907, Zobelein named his new beer 'Eastside' since Los Angeles Brewing Company was located east of the Los Angeles River at 600 Moulton Avenue, and the 1920-2026 block of Main Street. The bottling facility was eventually sold and became the Pabst Brewery."

"In the year 1881, at a time when it was thought that no good lager beer could be made in California, Maier & Zobelein secured possession of the famous brewery, which now bears their name, and, after years of diligent toil, succeeded in placing upon the market a quality of beer that is well known from the Pacific to the Atlantic seaboard... The brewery has recently been turned into a corporation, so as to give the employees and friends an opportunity to take a more direct interest in its welfare, and extend its business still further."
