Question: What was the name of the Swiss immigrant who built the first brewery in Bisbee?

Answer: Albert Sieber. In 1881 the Swiss immigrant built a white adobe saloon and the very first brewery in the gulch. To celebrate naming the canyon “Brewery Gulch,” Sieber famously offered free beer to the entire town, sparking an absolute frenzy that naturally ended in a massive town brawl.
