"Among the mid-19th Century German immigrants was the successful St. Louis brewer Joseph Maximilian Schnaider a man who had mastered the brewer's art with a "characteristic German thoroughness." Schnaider was born in Zell am Hammersbach in the province of Baden, Germany in 1832. After serving an apprenticeship in Rastadt (near Karlsruhe), he became foreman of a large brewery in Strasburg. Schnaider came to St. Louis in 1854 and found temporary employment as foreman of the Philadelphia Brewery on Morgan Street before going into business for himself the following year. In 1855, he built the Green Tree Brewery (in connection with the old Green Tree Hotel), one of the most famous of St. Louis' early breweries (demolished). Schnaider was soon joined by fellow brewer (and future brother-in-law) Max J. Feuerbacher and in 1864 the Green Tree Brewery moved to the south side of Sidney at Ninth. Schnaider sold his interest to his partner in 1865 to organize the Chouteau Avenue Brewery and Schnaider's Garden; he operated the complex until his untimely death in 1881."
