Company Names, addresses, dates¹:
  Bergner & Engel Brewing Co, Md ave c 9th NW (1881-1887)
  Bergner & Engel Brewing Co, Va ave c 6th SW (1888-1900)
  The Jerome Bottle Co, Va ave c 6th SW (1901-1902)
  Grasser & Brand Brewing Co, Va ave c 6th SW (1903-1908)

Notes:
Brewery was based in Philadelphia. They apparently had a Washington DC branch.
An ad in the February 2 1881 Washington Post listed H.L. Dauterich as their agent. It also listed 3 other DC bottlers who bottled Bergner and Engel's beer: Chr. Dickson, John Nass and William Zanner.
There is another newspaper ad shown below that lists a different set of bottlers, but I don't know if that ad is before or after 1881. It lists the beers as "Lager", "Tannhauser", and "Culmbacher".

Bergner & Engel started in DC at MD Ave & 9th Street NW, then moved to VA Ave & 6th Street SW. When they left DC, that latter address became home to the Jerome Bottle company for 2 years, then the Grasser & Brand Brewing for 6 years. This graphic from the Jerome Bottling Company letterhead is presumably the same building that housed the Bergner & Engel bottling plant. The full letter is shown later in this web page.

	This bottle is actually embossed with Anheuser-Busch, but has a partial label from Bergner & Engle. I don't know if the 2 companies had an agreement, or if Bergner & Engle simply reused an A-B bottle.

This is an advertisement from a newspaper. The ebay seller said it was 1880-1882, although there's no date on it since it was cut out so I can't verify that. It says: THE / BERGNER & ENGEL / BREWING COMPANY. / ... / WASHINGTON, D.C. / Depot and Office: / 9th Street and Maryland Avenue S.W. / H.L. DAUTERICH, Manager. / ... / BOTTLERS: / JOHN NASH, 821 4 1/2 St. S.W. / H. BENZLER & CO., 933 D. St. N.W. / F.H. FINLEY, 1206 D St. N.W. / BILD BROS., 640 B. St. S.W.
