However, we have found no evidence that any of the three original New Netherland Brouwers (Adam, Jan or Willem) were ever Brewers by occupation. Perhaps the occupation is rooted somewhere in their own pasts, maybe in the 16th or 15th centuries, back in Europe, and was not carried on once they arrived in New Netherland.Chris Chesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357968881533223410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6068447077581264936.post-60328309932399378812013-12-21T05:14:01.008-05:002013-12-21T05:14:01.008-05:00I'm aware Brouwer is a common name, since it&#...I'm aware Brouwer is a common name, since it's taken from an occupation (beer maker), but I noticed another blog post about Brewers in the USA & thought you might find it interesting. <br />Finding your Past: Brief history of German Brewers in Albany: http://findingyourpast.blogspot.com/2013/11/brief-history-of-german-brewers-in.html?spref=tw<br />Best regards, JoanJoan Boshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055926341623988772noreply@blogger.com
