Washington Brewery / Arlington Brewery
The brewery at the corner of K and 27th Streets NW got started sometime before 1842. The book "A new guide to Washington" by George Watterston, published in 1842, said the brewery got started by William Haymen, and had "been in existence for some years"⁶.
It had many owners through the years. City Directories or Newspaper articles referred to it as the "Washington Brewery" between 1844 and 1872. There were other breweries in Washington DC with the same name such as this Washington Brewery .
Starting in 1873 when George Wilson bought the Brewery, it was renamed the "Arlington Brewery"².
In 1886, that location was taken over by the Arlington Bottling Company. I assume it ceased being a brewery, and start simply bottling beer, and probably soda as well.

Francis Denmead (1829-1891)
Francis Denmead owned the Arlington Brewery for about 2 years (1877-1878).
According to "Robert Portner and his Brewing Company" by Timothy J. Dennee, Francis Denmead also ran a malt house in Baltimore that supplied Robert Portner with barley malt during the Civil War. Denmead was also one of Portner's creditors.³
