The Dick Brothers Brewery Complex in Quincy, IL, is a revitalized historic gem that’s buzzing with creativity, commerce, and community.

Quincy’s southside German district was once home to one of the largest U.S. breweries, underground springs, and caverns. Still exists today! History & tunnel tours, event space, museum, and the Ratskeller (underground German bar).
Experience rare memorabilia of the brewery once larger than Anheuser-Busch. Gift shop on premises.
The first German migrants settled primarily in Quincy’s southeast corner, accumulating approximately 10,500 in number from 1840-1870.
Many homes in the German Historic District belonged to employees of Dick Brothers Brewery, founded 1857, once larger than Anheuser-Busch.
