Huber reached its most successful point around 1978, when its Augsburger brand received awards from several prominent beer reviewers and became a top seller for the company. The brewery was sold in 1985 for $7.8 million; in 1988 the new owners sold the Augsburger label to Stroh Brewery Company and later briefly closed the brewery. Fred Huber, son of Joseph, bought the brewery and resumed operations in a partnership with Chicago's Berghoff family, but the brewery filed for bankruptcy and was sold in 1995.[1][2] In 2006, the brewery and its brands were sold to Mountain Crest Brewing Company,[3] of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.[4] The Monroe brewery was renamed Minhas Craft Brewery.[5]
