The Urban Legend of The Lemp Brewery and The Cherokee Caves
One of the biggest Lemp urban legends concerns the Cherokee Caves. Ever since I learned about the Lemp Mansion, people have told me it's connected to the Cherokee Caves and that William Lemp Sr. used the caves daily to travel between the mansion and the brewery.

The Lemp Brewery Complex
The Lemp Brewery ceased beer production in 1920 due to the enactment of Prohibition. The gates were chained, and the buildings lay dark and silent for the first time in their history. In 1921, William Lemp Jr sold the rights and the recipe of Falstaff Beer to Papa Griesedieck, owner of the Consumer Brewery, for $20,000. The sale of Falstaff Beer was the final coffin nail for the Lemp Brewery, ensuring that beer would never again be brewed at the complex.
